of law.

In response to the application filed

before it , High Court laid down

procedure for the declaration of public

holidays in the country and described

the suit as of great public interest.

elections and filed a petition before

the supreme court where Dr. Ruto’s win

was upheld , has continuously held

several rallies within the country

alleging that his win was stolen.

“upon perusal of the prayers I have

not found out any gazette notice by

Cabinet Secretary of Interior

declaring Monday a public holiday as

per section 3 of the public holiday’s

act,” said Justice Ong’undi.

The Judge directed the applicant to

serve all the parties pending

proceedings on Tuesday 21st.
