Public Holidays
Place: Nairobi - [ 10/10/2012 ]
Festivals around National Holidays
In Kenya, National Public Holidays are important occasions for local residents who come from all corners and usually attend in large numbers. The principal reason for most of them is the entertainment which is both directed to the public and largely to the President and Political Leaders in attendance. Presentations of Traditional Dancers and acrobatics, Poetry and music, plays and skits, the armed forces, Police, Navy and air force, local choirs from schools and other government and non goverment institutions. The events are usually held at the Nairobi based Sports Stadiums or at the Uhuru Gardens near the CBD. Such public Holidays include
Moi Day - 10th October every year
Kenyatta Day - 20th October every year
Independence Day - 12th December every year

Kenya Alcohol Laws- Mutotho Laws
It is now a law in Kenya tha alcohol cannot be sold before 2:00 PM on weekends and 5:00 PM on weekdays. Establishments selling alcohol should also close shop by 11:00 pm and should not be located within 300 metres of a School.
While this law has been welcomed with a lot of praise to the Member of Parliament, Hon. Mutotho, many bar proprietors have been crying fould claiming that their daily revenues have dwindled. Women and children are among the majority of people who stand to benefit because many have suffered for a long time whilst their husbands or fathers could not utilise their money and time with meaningful activities other than drinking alcohol.

04 Apr 2010 This was an excellent introduction to Nairobi - great experience using the public transport especially! My guide was knowledgeable and I felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time. I've never been on a tour that makes you feel like one of the locals instead of a 'tourist'.
