is considering the Public Holidays (Amendment) Act, 2019 (Act 986) to reinstate July 1st as a public holiday.
It is also seeking to delete August 4th as Founder's Day and to restore September 21st (Nkrumah's birthday) as Founders' Day.
Additionally, the government proposes to amend the Act to authorise the President to shift holidays that fall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays to the preceding Friday or the following Monday.
However, religious holidays (such as Eid Ul Adha, Eid Ul Fitr, and Christmas) will not be affected by this adjustment.
