On Thursday, April 28, when many Kenyans log off work, they will report back on Wednesday, May 4, next week after spending five days at home.

Friday, April 29, is already a public holiday which the government gazetted to accord former President Mwai Kibaki a State Funeral.

Friday’s holiday is to honour the late president Mwai Kibaki whose funeral service is set for the day at Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi.

Sunday is Labour Day, an annual holiday set to celebrate the achievements of workers globally. With the day falling on a Sunday, it is pushed to Monday which makes it a public holiday.

Now, the government has set Tuesday to be a public  holiday to help mark the end of the holy month of Ramadhan.

In a public statement released on Tuesday by Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i.

“Tuesday, May 3, 2022 shall be a public holiday to mark Idd-ul-Fitr,” added the CS.
