PUBLIC HOLIDAYS (AMENDMENT) ACT 1992

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.	The main purpose of this Act is to add to the Schedule to the Ordinance several other days which have been recognised and honoured as public holidays in Kiribati.

2.	By doing so the current cumbersome practice of the responsible Ministry of advising the public in advance as what days in the next year are public holidays which are to be observed will no longer now be necessary.
