The High Court has restored 10th October, which was formally known as Moi Day, as a public holiday.
Justice George Odunga in his ruling on Wednesday November 8, said the scrapping of Moi Day is an illegality and was in contravention of the law.
“I hereby grant a declaration that the omission to have the 10th day of October observed as a public holiday is an illegality and in contravention of Section 2(1) as read with part 1 of the schedule to the Public Holidays Act,” stated Odunga in part of his ruling.
The judge, nonetheless, gave an outline on how Moi Day can be formally scrapped.
