The new bill which was laid by the Interior Minister, on Thursday, December 13 sought to make January 7 Constitution Day and August 4, Founders Day.

Despite that the bill is pending before parliament for consideration and approval, the Speaker of Parliament is quoted in a media interview as saying the government can always declare holidays ahead of the passage of bills.

“Government can always declare a holiday. We don’t need an act. Pending the formalisation of the process, it can in the interrim declare any day as a holiday. The Minster of Interior can even declare tomorrow a holiday”, Speaker Mike Oquaye told the Daily Graphice.

Below is the full statement from the ministry:
