Ghanaians may soon have one more holiday after an amendment to the Public Holiday Act was tabled in Parliament today [Thursday].
January 7 is being earmarked as Constitution Day by the Akufo-Addo administration.
Also, over a year since President Nana Akufo-Addo made the proposal, the legislation will also designate August 4 as Founders’ Day.
January 7, 1993, was the day the 1992 Constitution came into force for the Fourth Republic of Ghana. This was after its approval at a Referendum held on April 28, 1992.
January 7 is also the day new Heads of State are sworn into office.
