September 1 has been announced as a holiday for Muslims as they prepare to celebrate Idd Ul Adha.
On Wednesday, Acting Interior CS Fred Matiang'i released a notice saying the holiday is strictly for Muslims.
"Employers should allow them to be away from work but for non-Muslims, this will be a normal working day," the notice read as quoted by The Star.
He added that the holiday is initially listed for Muslims strictly but measures have been put in place to change that.
According to the CS there is a bill set to be brought to Parliament with the aim of turning it into a national public holiday.
Idd Ul Adha also known as 'sacrifice feast', is celebrated worldwide and signifies the Abraham's obedience to God after he was commanded to sacrifice his son.
