Minister of Internal Affairs Kithure Kindiki has declared Wednesday, April 10, 2024 as a public holiday.
According to a statement published in the government gazette, the holiday will be used to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr.
“In exercising the authority given by section 2 (1) of the Law on Public Holidays, I declare that Wednesday, April 10 2024, will be a holiday to celebrate Idd-ul-Fitr,” Kindiki said.
Eid-ul-Fitr is a major religious holiday for Muslims that marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
The celebration begins with a special prayer, known as Eid, which is offered early in the morning after the sighting of the new moon.
