Dery highlighted that Sunday, January 7, 2024, is Constitution Day, recognised as a Statutory Public Holiday.
However, considering that the date falls on a Sunday, the President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency, has utilised Executive Instrument (E.I.) powers, as outlined in Section 2 of the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days Act (Act 601).
Consequently, Monday, January 8, 2024, has been officially declared an additional public holiday.
