Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen
Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Kipchumba Murkomen, has declared Friday, June 6, 2025, a public holiday.
The holiday is meant to mark Eid-ul-Adha.
Murkomen, in a gazette notice issued on Tuesday, June 4, 2025, said the declaration was made under the powers conferred by Section 2(1) of the Public Holidays Act.
“It is notified for the general information of the public that in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 2 (1) of the Public Holidays Act, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration declares that Friday, 6th June, 2025, shall be a public holiday to mark Eid-ul-Adha,” the statement read.
Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, is one of the most significant holidays in the Islamic calendar.
It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command before God provided a ram to sacrifice instead.
The announcement allows Muslims across the country to prepare for the religious festivities, which involve prayers, charity, and communal meals.
Murkomen’s declaration aligns with the previous government tradition of recognising Islamic religious festivals as national holidays to ensure inclusivity and religious freedom.
