Consequently, the government has declared Monday May 25 a public holiday.
Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (Supkem) South Rift chairman Sheikh Yusuf Athman urged the faithful to follow the directives aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus as they mark the event.
“Some started celebrating the holy month on April 24 and others a day after,” Sheikh Athman said.
Let us pray and celebrate at home,” Sheikh Athman said.
Most of the prayers took place at home this year because mosques and other prayer grounds were closed to contain the spread of the deadly virus.
