President Uhuru Kenyatta today on Thursday, chaired a cabinet meeting that approved the renaming of Moi day which falls on 10th October as Huduma day.
The renaming is in line with former President Daniel Arap Moi’s desire that the day be commemorated as a day of service and volunteerism.
Boxing day which falls on 26th December has also been renamed to Utamaduni Day.
Utamaduni day will be set aside to celebrate the country’s rich cultural diversity and heritage.
The renaming comes after the cabinet approved amendments under the proposals to amend the Public Holidays Act(Cap 109)
However, the proposed amendments will take effect once approved by parliament.
