Moi Day

Moi Day is a public holiday in Kenya. Celebrated on October 10, it honored former Kenyan President Daniel Moi. Following the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya in August 2010, Moi Day was removed from the list of Kenyan national holidays.[1] However On November 8 2017, The High Court restored 10th October, 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. On 8th October, 2018, CS Matiang'i announced the Public Holiday's comeback.
