Monday October 11 declared public holiday, Kenyans to mark Utamaduni Day for the first time

Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has declared Monday a public holiday.

This comes as Utamaduni Day, which is marked on October 10, falls on a Sunday.

“In line with the provisions of Section 2 and 4 of the Public Holidays Act (Cap 110), it is hereby confirmed that 11th October 2021 will be a public holiday,” Matiang’i said.

The Public Holidays Act of 1984 explains that when a public holiday falls on a Sunday;

“Where, in any year, a day in Part 1 of the Schedule falls on a Sunday, then the first succeeding day, not being a public holiday, shall be a public holiday and the first-mentioned day shall cease to be  public holiday.”
