Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho issued seven conditions for individuals who plan to use fireworks during Diwali Celebrations.
Diwali and Hindu celebrations will be held from Friday, November 1 to Saturday, November 2, 2024.
In a notice seen by The Star, Joho insisted that the fireworks display must be carried out in a way that will not inconvenience the general public.
"The Hindu community is requested to ensure that fireworks displays are carried out within the requirements of the Explosives Act Cap 115 Laws of Kenya. Fireworks displays should be carried out orderly so that the general public is not inconvenienced," the CS said.
They include getting the necessary fireworks permits from the State Department of Mining offices in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, Nyeri and Embu.
