Kenya’s GRA faces leadership challenge ahead of 30 June licensing deadline
Kenya’s gambling operators face a 30 June deadline to obtain licences under the new regulatory regime, while a court petition challenges the appointment of Gambling Regulatory Authority director general Peter Maina Karimi. The petition alleges his former role as mCHEZA chief executive conflicts with statutory eligibility rules; the case remains pending, with no finding that the appointment was unlawful.
The pending challenge coincides with a licensing deadline and may put scrutiny on decisions made during the proceedings.
