Parliament of Ghana today passed the Public Holidays Amendment Bill 2018 into law.
The current law scraps AU Day and Republic Day as public holidays and introduces January 7 as Constitution Day and make September 21 Nkrumah Memorial Day.
The minority in parliament who were unhappy with the new development stormed out of parliament in protest.
The Opposition argued that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is seeking to re-write the history of Ghana and glorify his late family members such as J.B. Danquah and Ofori-Atta with the introduction of the new law.
“The Public Holidays Amendment Bill is duly read for the third time and is passed”, The Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Aaron Oquaye said.
