The Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has announced major changes to Ghana’s public holiday calendar.
Through the Interior Ministry, the government has laid before Parliament the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
The proposed legislation seeks to establish July 1 as a new public holiday and restore the controversial Founder’s Day observance to September 21.
The Interior Minister made this announcement on the floor of Parliament earlier today.
In welcome news for workers, the bill includes provisions to move all midweek holidays (falling on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays) to Fridays.
This change aims to create longer weekends and potentially boost productivity.
However, the Minority in Parliament has strongly objected to the Majority’s decision to fast-track the bill under a certificate of urgency.
Opposition members argue this approach sidelines more pressing national issues that require parliamentary attention.
