@kingfisher, hi sasa ndiyo ubaya ya kuchanganyisha kingfisher and ndom. In the statement 'if the first succeeding day is not a
holiday we have a holiday
on that day.' Is the first succeeding day a holiday? It is since 26th is Boxing Day, so we CARRY FORWARD to the next day.

Let's take the matter to the Supreme Court....

DECEMBER 27TH IS A NORMAL WORKING DAY

As per the New Constitution and the Public Holiday’s Act, Tuesday, December 27th will NOT be a public holiday. The day will be a normal working day.

However, December 25th, 26th, 1st and 2nd January, 2012 remain public holidays.

27th cannot be a holiday. its not math (carry forward at any opportune time)


The law allows the carry-forward from Sunday to Monday. So a logical argument is that Xmas and boxing days cannot be on the same day hence the pushing of boxing day to Tuesday 27th Dec. We need time to open the gift boxes smile smile


The law does NOT allow the carry forward from Sunday to Monday, but to Tuesday.

Tafakari hii:


"Under Section 4 of the Public Holidays Act, when public holiday falls on a Sunday (which 25th does)in any year, then the first succeeding day (26th),NOT being a public holiday (but it is, therefore carry forward to Tuesday), shall be a public Holiday and the first-mentioned day (25th) shall cease to be a Public Holiday."



@GG..

wewe hapana mislead wazapere. the statement is very clear...

.......then the first succeeding day, NOT being a public holiday, shall be a public Holiday.....

That means only if the first succeeding day is not a holiday we have a holiday on that day. if it is also an holiday (like in this case 26th) then no further holiday is given!! hi maneno ya carry forward acha!!.


@King... From the little law interpretation i know, i would say we are on the same boat.....
