Kwadaso MP and former Deputy Education Minister, Professor Kingsley Nyarko, has strongly criticised the government's decision to schedule a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving on a Tuesday, arguing that it disrupts parliamentary proceedings and forces workers to abandon their duties, effectively turning a workday into an unofficial holiday.
He raised concerns about the timing, particularly as the government had already designated the following Friday as a public holiday in lieu of the traditional July 1st celebration.
Speaking to this reporter in an interview ahead of the National Prayer Day event, Professor Nyarko questioned the rationale behind the arrangement, suggesting it was a waste of resources. "Why are we shifting the holiday to Friday?
That doesn't make sense to me," he said.
