October 10 was confusing for many. You could understand those nostalgic about some past, but besides previously being a Moi Day, was it Utamaduni or Huduma Day?

The former it is, and has been since 2021. Nevertheless, we utilised the holiday. Six days later, on October 16, UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation designated World Food Day was observed, with a focus on "awareness of hunger and action for the future of food, people and the planet".
