Well, it looks like holidays are not a given. People scheduled programs for the 1st July. They are in trouble now!

This new Act then erodes the essence of remembering the particular day that the event we are supposed to commemorate fall to become useless. For example, when the Independence day falls on a Tuesday, IT WILL THEN BE SHIFTED TO FRIDAY which will be on the 9th of March. What then is the essence of remembering the day of independence. People all over the world will know that Ghana got their independence on 9th not on the 6th.

Tunnel-vision malcontent! Convenience and practicality is the positive action being implemented for us! Are you aware of the productivity loss due to absenteeism from midweek celebrations?

Cheers!

Shifting some of these holidays to Friday is the best. It will boost local tourism. Some holidays can't be shifted like Christmas & boxing day. Easter holidays always falls on the weekend from Friday to Monday so that's also fine. Maybe independence days won't be shifted to Fridays and that's ok. All the rest like Farmers days, 1st July, Founders days, May day etc should all be pushed to Fridays as they are going to do. In the UK similar holidays are always on a Monday to give 3days off work.

Farmers day is not a public holiday, but it always on the first Friday of Dec every year. I kind of agree with you with your proposal like May Day, Founder's etc should be celebrated on Fridays

This is so confusing. As for good Fridays and Easter Mondays stay put but Christmas and New year's holidays what happens to them ? Does it mean if Christmas and New year's holidays fall on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday workers will go to work and enjoy the holiday preceding Friday. How are christians going to fully participate in church activities if Christmas falls on above-mentioned 3 days? More clarity needed.

It's in the history books that Ghana gained independence on 6th March and became a Republic on 1st July and these two days and others are going to be shifted to different dates. What happens to Christmas, New year, eid fitr and eid a'dha when they fall on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday? Where from this cut and paste plan and what's it significance? The significance of observing a day as a holiday will be lost if this shifting system is implemented. Confusion all over why ? What Ghanaians go to the polls to elect a president is to see positive changes in their lifestyles and to reduce economic hardships but what are we hearing and seeing don't add up.

Friday is a special day for Muslims in Ghana. Am beginning to wonder if these changes are being done to satisfy our Muslim brothers to perform their worship rites. Just asking?

Dr Kwame Nkrumah legend lives on. The Akyem Abuakwa CRIMINALS thought that they could erase history with their unpatriotic Akyem Abuakwa selfish ends. Akyem Abuakwa CRIMINALS who were CIA spies in order to collect unemployment benefits-J B Danquah stood for elections at Akyem Abuakwa Seat for the UGCC but he lost to his nephew who was a CPP candidate. Ghana history can not be changed.

Why is Ghana copying America? Don’t we have our own identity? Every celebrated occasion in the US is adopted in Ghana . July first is out republic day which is celebrated as a holiday. The US celebrates July fourth as their Independence Day which is a holiday . Now what is the sense in declaring July fourth a holiday in Ghana when July first is our republic day ? Ghana has imitated the US in almost everything including their way dressing with winter clothes and adopting the American way of speaking . Even somewhere in Kumasi is named Kumamerica. Are we serious as a nation? Are we not proud of who we are .

You have a point. A government moving blindly to imitate America for reasons we don't understand. This is the same government that is also pushing the idea of a a national thanksgiving day/national day of prayer. I can understand pushing the holiday to Friday if the holiday fell on a Thursday. But here, the holiday falls on a Tuesday, and it makes no sense to push it to Friday, July 4. Looks like someone is out to please Trump.
