Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu, the Member of Parliament for Madina, has expressed his support for President John Dramani Mahama’s decision to declare a two-day holiday for Eid ul-Fitr celebrations.
Sosu described the move as a significant and commendable step that aligns with his previous legislative efforts.
In honour of his promises made during his election campaign and to acknowledge the contributions of the Muslim community to national development, President Mahama at the sod-cutting ceremony for the new Hajj Village on Friday, February 28 said that he had instructed the legal counsel at the presidency, Madam Marietta Brew, to amend the Public Holidays Act accordingly.
Sosu, in an interview on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Friday, stated that “The president’s proposal is a very welcomed proposal because it addresses part of what I sought to do with that bill in the former parliament.”
He further praised the president’s leadership, adding, “We just thank the prudent and commend him for the bold decision to make him happen.”
