CS Matiang’i Set to Gazette Thursday October 10 as a Public Holiday

Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i is set to gazette Thursday October 10 as a public holiday.

High Court Judge George Odunga in November 2017 reinstated October 10 as a public holiday.

Judge Odunga said the nullification of the holiday was a contravention of the Public Holidays Act.

Dr Matiang’i had earlier explained that October 10 is not among the national days recognised under Article 9(3) of the Constitution.

While making the holiday declaration last year, the CS said that the ministry will not say how the day will be marked.

This was because plans for the Mashujaa Day celebrations on October 20 were in top gear, same to this year where Kenya navy have been preparing for the event in Mombasa.

Will Matiang’i explain how the Moi Day will be celebrated this time round? Well, let’s wait for the gazette notice.
