“Monday 3, 2022 Is A Public Holiday” – Government Declares

Monday, January 3, 2022 has been declared by Government as a public holiday and as such should be observed by Ghanaians.

The decision by Government to declare the working day as an additional public holiday is because January 1, 2022, a day set aside to mark the New Year falls on a Saturday.

The President has therefore by Executive Instrument (E.I), in accordance with Section 2 of the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days Act (Act 601), included Monday, January 3, 2022.

In a statement to the press on December 29, 2021, the Minister of Interior, Ambrose Dery noted that the public is, however, expected to observe the day as such.
