Kenyans are being treated to yet another public holiday this year, just after an etxrapolated Easter weekend and this time round its fully enshrined in the constitution!
April fourth will see the president elect Uhuru Kenyattaand deputy president elect Wiliam Ruto sworn into office at Kasarani Sports Stadium as opposed to the usual state-house, making t6hem the first CEOs of the country to be elected under the new constitution.
The outgoing president and the second president of the country are expected there with other former heads of states and sitting heads to witness the historic occassion. This comes with a back-drop of the coup in the Central African Republic which poses a challenge to the much yearned regional intergration.
However, despite the fact that Kenyans deserve a pat at the back for a peaceful election such public holidays do not portray the spirit of a working nation especially at this time of the year. This might be thought to be quiute outrageous but considering the extent of disruptions on the calender a weekday is the worst choice to have the event if the holiday is mandatory.
Assessing the impact of a holiday on work brings a better understanding..........................
