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.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
