There was booming business in Mombasa during the Eid-Ul-Fitr celebrations to mark the end of Ramadhan. Thousands of Muslims have for the last one week thronged super markets and shops to shop for the celebrations which begun yesterday.
Prices of commodities also shot up especially the traditional Kanzu’s (robes worn by men) and the Bui bui (worn by women). A good Kanzu sold for between Sh2,000 and Sh3,500 compared to the usual Sh1,500.Shopkeepers said that Business booms during this period as every Muslim marks the end of the fasting period. Families shop in large numbers and the demand for most commodities is usually high because every Muslims wants to celebrate the Eid festive with their parents and families so they all do want to look good.
