Moi Day, (unofficially referred as Mazingira Day), is a public holiday in Kenya.[1] It is celebrated each year on October 10, honoring former Kenyan President Daniel Moi. Following the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya in August 2010, Moi Day was removed from the list of Kenyan national holidays.[2] However, on 8 November 2017, the High Court restored it as an October 10 public holiday.
On 19 December 2019 the cabinet approved the renaming of Moi Day to Huduma Day.[1]
The public holiday was renamed Mazingira Day from Utamaduni Day.The changes were effected by President William Ruto on 24th April 2024.[3]
