Friday, August 27th will be a public holiday for Kenyans to celebrate the coming into force of the new Constitution.
Government spokesman Alfred Mutua said on Thursday the new Constitution will be signed into law at a grand ceremony at Uhuru Park in Nairobi.
Dignitaries from all over the world have been invited to the ceremony, said Mr Mutua, and the event should be bigger than other national holidays.
He declined to name the guests as a good number are yet to confirm attendance but said plans are in top gear and it will be a ceremony like no other.
Kenyans from all eight provinces will travel to the capital city to represent their areas at the function, he added.
“Ushering in a new constitution will be a rebirth for our country and something that will bring major and important changes that will propel the country to great heights,” said the spokesman.
Church leaders have expressed their intention to take the government to task over promises made by the President and the Prime Minister to make amendments to issues they consider contentious.
Mr Mutua said these would come in “due course” and after “due process” but added the government “will not be pushed to make changes that are impossible to do now.”
