Ruto Declares New National Day

President William Ruto has officially designated August 27 as Katiba Day to commemorate the promulgation of Kenya’s 2010 Constitution.
In a statement on Monday, August 25, Ruto said that this day will serve as a reminder to all Kenyans to obey, preserve, protect, and implement the Constitution.
According to Ruto, while this day will remain a working day, all government institutions in the three arms of government and the two levels of governance, including schools, shall organise, hold, and participate in solemn civic activities on that day to foster constitutional awareness and civic engagement.
“Now therefore I, President William Ruto, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby proclaim that August 27, 2025, and every 27th day in the month of August forever thereafter shall be observed as ‘Katiba Day’ in commemoration of the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010,” Ruto stated.
“Katiba Day shall be observed throughout the territory of Kenya and all our diplomatic missions abroad as a day dedicated to renewing our shared commitment to the ideals of the Constitution by fostering national dialogue on our constitutionalism, governance, and the rule of law,” Ruto added.
