The Convention people’s Party (CPP) has warned parliament to hasten slowly in its quest to pass the Public Holidays Amendment Bill (2018) as it does not only seek to add more holidays to Ghanaians, but also seek to rewrite the country’s history.
The party in a Memo signed by its acting General Secretary, James Kwabena Bomfeh an addressed to Parliament stated in part that ‘’Parliament must be cautioned that should this bill pass, generations to come would learn from the surfeit archival records of the dangerous show of abuse of power by an incumbent that assumed it could elevate their defeated forebears in the early contest over how we should be governed beyond what they really were and Parliament would be complicit’’.
The Memo added that ‘’the high numbers of the governing Party’s Members of Parliament may allow them an easy passage of the bill but they would not have an easy celebration outside Parliament. This debate would be fought in our homes, farms, schools and workplaces. The most dangerous part of this proposed bill is not the issue of holidays but the disingenuous tinkering of the settled history of Ghana’’.
