The communication from Alfred Mutua that Monday is not a holiday is so so wrong, legally. Moi Day is a public holiday (not a national holiday) under the Public Holidays Act. Until and unless that Act is repealed or the legal notice under which Moi Day was created is cancelled, the day remains a public holiday.
Relevant provisions:
New Constitution:
Article 9
(3) The national days are—
(a) Madaraka Day, to be observed on 1st June;
(b) Mashujaa Day, to be observed on 20th October; and
(c) Jamhuri Day, to be observed on 12th December.
(4) A national day shall be a public holiday.
(5) Parliament may enact legislation prescribing other public
holidays, and providing for observance of public holidays.
New Constitution: Sixth Schedule, Paragraph 7
7. (1) All law in force immediately before the effective date continues in force and shall be construed with the alterations, adaptations, qualifications and exceptions necessary to bring it into conformity with this Constitution.
Public Holidays Act:
Section 2
2. (1) The days specified in Part I of the Schedule shall in every year be kept as public holidays.
Part I of the Schedule:
SCHEDULE
PART I
New Year's Day .. .. ..1st January.
Good Friday .. .. ..
Easter Monday .. .. .. March or April.
Labour Day .. .. .. 1st May
Madaraka Day .. .. .. 1st June.
Idd-ul-Fitr .. .. .. Date depending upon the appearance of the moon.
Moi Day .. .. .. 10th October.
Kenyatta Day .. .. .. 20th October.
Independence Day .. .. .12th December.
Christmas Day .. .. .. 25th December.
Boxing day .. .. .. 26th December
Section 4 of the Public Holidays Act
4. Where, in any year, a day in Part I 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 a public holiday.

I think article 9 or so of the katba legalizes the 3 national holidays it does not outlaw the existing public holidays plus the public holidays act cap 110 was never ammended. possunt quia posse videntur

Office of the Government Spokesman and the Head of the Public Service, have advised FKE to go by the new Constitution, so 10th October, 2010, will not be observed as a Public Holiday.  See how hard coping when 'benefits/privileges/perks' that you have always enjoyed are suddenly withdrawn?

I think that the declaration by the Govt that Moi Day is not a holiday is a political decision, rather than a legal one. Since 2002 the Govt has always wondered what to do with Moi Day but not wishing to be seen bashing Moi and his ilk has opted to remain vague as to the status of the day. The new Constitution has offered a perfect excuse, though illegal.

As Mpenzi has put it legally Monday is a public holiday. Whether it will be observed is a totally different question.

The new constitutions very first public-affecting act is one of impunity... Let it respect the law.

We have just been informed there wont be any holiday. '......to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' Colossians 2:2-3

In his last days in office moi did away with the military shows at nyayo stadium and turned it to a charitable day. The kibaki admin has decided to forget the humane side of moi Life is short. Live passionately.
