October 10 expected to be declared a public holiday after FKE obtained orders

The Federation of Kenya Employers, FKE, has obtained court orders to force the interior Ministry to declare October 10 a public holiday. The FKE had gone to court to protest the decision by the Internal Security Ministry not to gazette October 10 as a public holiday.

October 10 has in the past been celebrated as Moi day before the Constitutional review. The orders, granted, now mean that the holiday shall be celebrated yearly; on 10th October.
