Monday November 13 declared a public holiday to enable Kenyans participate in tree-planting exercises in various parts of the country.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has declared Monday, November 13, a public holiday.
In a special gazette notice, the CS announced that the day will be set aside as the national tree growing day for the ongoing short rains season, during which the Ministry of Environment has set a target of nurturing 500 million seedlings.
This, the CS said, is a product of a Cabinet meeting that approved a special day for tree planting.
“In Exercise of the powers conferred by section 3 of the Public Holidays Act, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration declares Monday, November 13, 2023, a public holiday in which the public shall be engaged in tree growing countrywide,” the gazette notice read.

CS Kindiki said the exercise is part of Kenya’s Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration Program–Towards the Growing of Fifteen (15) billion trees.
“There will be a designated National venue for the tree planting presided over by His Excellency (Dr.) William Samoei Ruto, the President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, and forty-seven (47) County venues presided over by Cabinet Secretaries and Governors, where all Kenyan citizens and the general public shall be expected to participate,” Kindiki added.
President William Ruto is expected to preside over the special event.
Additionally, other venues shall be announced in the 47 counties to be presided over by Cabinet Secretaries and Governors.
This is in line with President William Ruto’s agenda of planting 15 billion trees by 2032.
