After the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution of Kenya, the day was scrapped off from the holidays calendar but was reinstated by the court in 2017, giving Kenyans another chance to mark the day.
As this was going on, Kenyans on Twitter have not been left out in the celebration and here are their reactions;

@jedwaga Even Moi University alumni don't have a reason to celebrate.... #MoiDay #NoReasonToCelebrateKe
@DonaldBKipkorir On this beautiful #MoiDay , I remember with nostalgia my President, President Daniel Arap Moi ... Some may want to remember the negatives but I choose to remember his positives knowing we all are human & we all have our foibles ... Unlike many of his age, Moi handed over power.

@SitotonTech Why are people hating Moi and yet we have had almost 17 years to change the narrative! Are we better where are now? Are the problems we are facing now because of President Moi? We should move forward and know that the current Government is no better and we should change! #MoiDay

@LinusKaikai MOI was a serious political adult; fully in charge of the national homestead he headed. He genuinely cared for National Unity, running a Govt largely representative of the face of Kenya. He fully protected our territorial borders. History will judge this man kindly. #MoiDay
