Kenya public holidays
Data · 13 Jul 2019, 13:13 · 5

The dataset on Kenya public holidays provided is for the calendar year 2017, yet we are asked to predict for dates in 2016. Is there an updated public holidays dataset for this competition?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have corrected the file.

Just checking the file, I see differences between the dates in the file and those in the source website: https://www.officeholidays.com/countries/kenya/2016

Is the file correct?

Hi Daniel, we have corrected the file again. Hopefully we have it this time. There is an "extra" holiday on 2 May 2016. Labour day normally falls on 1 May but as it was a Sunday the public holiday was observed on the Monday, 2 May.

Hi, My apologies for insisting on this topic, but according to the official holidays website for 2016, Eid Al Fitr fell on July 7th. If I am looking at the correct file, the revised file has Eid Al Fitr on June 7th. Is this right?

It should be good now.
