Muslims will start the Holy Month of Ramadhan on Wednesday, the Chief Kadhi Ahmed Muhdhar has announced.

The Chief Kadhi was, however, unable to sight the moon in Mombasa County and other parts of the country. He noted that the moon had been sighted in India and Qatar where they have already announced the start of the holy month.
