Moi day to be scrapped if draft law is enacted

http://www.ntv.co.ke Kenyans will have one day less to take a break from work if the new constitution is enacted. The draft constitution proposes the scrapping of Moi Day. And as Rita Tinina reports Kenyatta Day will be renamed Mashujaa day in recognition of the men and women who participated in the freedom struggle.

Finally people are starting to talk sensibly!

[daniells71]

You just reminded me of the Nyayo staduim/Coke deal. The dumbest reasoning I have ever heard.

heroes day or mashujaa day is cool...As people are suggesting, rename moi day...i have a suggestion..kenya day, or Africa day or whatever...no need for that free day from work disappearing like that

[Kapnatui]

I love Hero's Day,to remember all those who fought for Kenya's Independence.

[nmbugua]

since we used to a free day off hard work, let them remove the name Moi and call it something else like workers day

[jamanyoro]

For me i would like to se kalembe day.,

[surambaya]

I agree - just change the name and let it continue to be a holiday. It's a non-issue.

[jugholder]

they could have just changed the name given that Kenya has so few national holidays.

[MzeeMoja1]

I would rather joseph kamotho day. Is there space to squeeze that in? Maybe we might all take the chance to head down to our local bunkers to sample what will be the already legalised changaa brew on this day!!
