Siaya County Commissioner Nobert Komora ordered civil servants who skipped Mashujaa Day celebrations to submit written explanations for their absence and warned that officers unwilling to serve should resign. Komora stated that national holidays require public servants to attend and engage with citizens, rather than watching television at home. He told officials on Monday that the administration will replace workers who refuse to participate in government functions.
The commissioner praised Siaya residents for their conduct at former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga's burial and urged government employees to demonstrate similar commitment to national service. Kenya observed Mashujaa Day on Monday to honor heroes who fought for freedom and democracy. President Uhuru Kenyatta posthumously awarded Odinga the Order of the Golden Heart of Kenya for his contributions to justice and unity. County commissioners held local ceremonies where they read the presidential message to residents.
