of law.
In response to the application filed
before it , High Court laid down

holidays in the country and described

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.
