The question is whether boxing day is a public hol in kenya. I think Dec 26 is nt listed as a public hol in kenya under th new katiba, i ope that answers most of th Q's in tis thread.

Boxing Day is a Public Holiday under the Public Holidays Act but it is not a National Holiday under the Constitution. Neither are Christmas, Easter Monday, Good Friday etc National Holidays. Get that distinction??

We need time to open the gift boxes The law does NOT allow the carry forward from Sunday to Monday, but to Tuesday. Tafakari hii: "Under Section 4 of the Public Holidays Act, when public holiday falls on a Sunday (which 25th does)in any year, then the first succeeding day (26th),NOT being a public holiday (but it is, therefore carry forward to Tuesday), shall be a public Holiday and the first-mentioned day (25th) shall cease to be a Public Holiday."

That means only if the first succeeding day is not a holiday we have a holiday on that day. if it is also an holiday (like in this case 26th) then no further holiday is given!! hi maneno ya carry forward acha!!. When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

Kingfisher, very confusing twist you brought in there! But surely, we must have had such a case early 2000s. What happened then?

@kingfisher, hi sasa ndiyo ubaya ya kuchanganyisha kingfisher and ndom. In the statement 'if the first succeeding day is not a
holiday we have a holiday
on that day.' Is the first succeeding day a holiday? It is since 26th is Boxing Day, so we CARRY FORWARD to the next day.

Let's take the matter to the Supreme Court.... Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
