Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has declared Monday, August 12, a public holiday to mark celebration of Eid-ul-Adha. Eid-ul-Adha is an Islamic festival to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to follow God’s command to sacrifice his son Isaac. Kenyans are well known for their hardcore partying culture and we all know how this long weekend means to them.
Most people will plan to host house parties, go out with friends, visit our loved ones and what not. Our streets and estates will have all kinds of rowdiness but should we blame Matiang’i for executing people’s power?
