Mr Prosper Bani, the Minister for The Interior, has said December 7, the day set for Ghana’s General Election is not a holiday.
He said except for security personnel who would be given time for their assignments on the day, especially those travelling, the Election Day would remain a working day for public servants.
Mr Bani said this when he addressed the Volta Regional Security Council and the Regional Election Taskforce during a working visit to the Region.
The visit was to afford the Minister the opportunity to assess the preparedness of the Election Taskforce ahead of the elections.
He said the Government expected all heads of institutions to “provide an enabling environment” for workers to exercise their franchise.
Mr Bani reassured of the preparedness of the security services to ensure event-free polls and warned against hate speeches.
He said political parties and individuals engaging in hate speeches would soon be made to face the law.
Mr John Kudalor, the Inspector General of Police, tasked the Police to make all hotspots an “enabling environment” and ensure that all registered Ghanaians were allowed to vote.

Eiiiii NDC n Mahama this is senseless hmmmmmm God help ghana
No matter what you do, NDC will LOOOOOOOOSE! CHANGE IS COMING!
Incompetence! You are also not proactive. What is the sense in keeping Fri Dec 2 as a holiday when the farmers' day has already been observed? This government's incompetence baffles me.
You see the ***barred word*** and crass incompetence of this govt???? They are afraid of the coming change but OUT we'll vote them.ARISE FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!
for hate speach, you have your first culprit in Mahama the prez.
I am very disappointed in the minister and people who are paid with the tax payer money should use their brains and eschew politics. The minister and the government should either place the farmers' holiday on 7th or give another holiday on 7th. The minister will leave his job and travel to his constituency to vote. U.seless and incompetence government
I think holidays are created to suit the people and not the people to suit the holidays. What makes it wrong to push the 2 Dec. holiday to Election day to suit everyone??..Interior minister pls do what will suit all Ghanaians.
You wond make such a great day a holiday so how will people travel to their various home towns to vote and as a matter of fact cant we push the farmers day to the election day cos even the day falls on wednesday, okkk then all workers will take off their leave days to go and vote. Hope u are not doing this cos of the change cos it is coming like kakai
