Senator Gichuhi arrived in Australia with her husband and three children in 1999 and became an Australian citizen in 2001. She is the eldest of ten children.
Labor unsuccessfully tried to challenge her eligibility amid questions about her Kenyan citizenship.
Her swearing-in brings the total number of senators back to 76.
Day quit parliament last year to deal with the collapse of his building group.
But he has since been ruled ineligible to have been elected by the High Court, because he had indirectly benefited from a government lease arrangement on his Adelaide electorate office.
His former Family First party has since merged with the new Australian Conservatives party, launched by Liberal party defector Cory Bernardi.
But Senator Gichuhi has chosen not to merge with the new party and told the Senate she would sit as an independent.
