The day, which was previously known as Moi Day in honour of former President Daniel arap Moi, was renamed Huduma Day in December 2019. In 2018, Dr Matiang’i confirmed the day would henceforth be used to celebrate national heroes and heroines. On Wednesday, President Uhuru Kenyatta declared a national prayer weekend from Friday to Sunday. This will be the second national prayer in the country since the virus struck the nation on March 13, 2020.
