Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery declared Monday, June 26, 2017, a public holiday to celebrate the Idd Ul Fitr, meaning Kenyans will have a long weekend to rest and unwind.
Records from the Kenya Railways indicate that the Standard Gauge Railway trains to Mombasa are fully booked for the holiday but all is not lost for those who will not go down to the Coast.
Did you know you can actually make Sh1 Million this long weekend by simply enjoying a drink at your local joint?
Guinness, Kenya's most popular stouts, has an attractive offer dubbed 'Top The Table' promotion to reward consumers who have been loyal to the brand.
Consumers spotted drinking either the 500ml or 300ml Guinness brand stand a chance to get 'subbed' or 'played on' for a chance to participate.
Those who pick Play on will be required to send the word 'play' followed by their name and their Identification number for registration.
The next step will be to send the word bar followed by a code assigned to the specific joint where you will be enjoying the drink.
The last step will be to send the alphanumeric code under the crown on your bottle to 22110.
A draw will be conducted in the same location where the Guinness crew will randomly select 3 winners who stand a chance to win Ksh10,000, Ksh5,000, or a 40-inch Television.
All Play on entries will then be entered into the bi-weekly draws for a chance to win Ksh1,000,000.
Those who get the Sub card will instantly win branded merchandise including football jerseys, Guinness branded T-shirts or a Guinness cap.
It is important to note that the Sub card does not enter into any of the cash draws neither does it get into the main draws for a chance to win Ksh1 Million in the bi-weekly draw.
