“I hereby grant a declaration that the omission to have the 10th day of October observed as a public holiday as an illegality and in contravention of Section 2(1) as read with part 1 of the schedule to the Public Holidays Act,” Justice Odunga said.
Since the promulgation of the new constitution this day has been a normal working day yet Kenyans were already used to celebrating this day. This day was set aside in the old regime to celebrate the second president , Daniel arap Moi.
