Gov’t gazettes Friday a public holiday for Kindiki swearing-in as DP
The
government, through the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, has gazetted
Friday, November 1, 20024, as a public holiday.
Acting
Interior Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi said the date has been set aside
for the swearing in of Deputy President-designate Prof. Kithuri Kindiki.
“It
is notified for the general information of the public that the Cabinet
Secretary for Interior and National Administration, in exercise of the powers
conferred by section 3 of the Public Holidays Act, and sections 3 (b) and 12
(3) of the Assumption of Office of President Act, declares Friday, the 1st
November, 2024, to be a public holiday, being the date of the swearing-in of the
Deputy President-designate,” CS Mudavadi stated in the gazette notice.
Prof.
Kindiki is set to be sworn-in as the new Deputy President on Friday at the
Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi.
This
follows a ruling of the High Court in Nairobi on Thursday that set aside a previousorder barring Kindiki’s swearing-in following the impeachment of Rigathi
Gachagua.
"It is notified for the general information of the
public that the swearing-in ceremony of the Deputy President-designate shall
take place on Friday, 1st November, 2024, at the Kenyatta International
Convention Centre (K.I.C.C.), in Nairobi City County, from 10.00 O'clock,"
read a gazette notice issued by Secretary to the Cabinet Mercy Wanjau.
Head of Public Service Felix Koskei has since also gazetted
names of members of the Assumption to Office of the Deputy President committee
which will make preparations for the swearing-in of Prof. Kindiki.
