CHIEF SECRETARY DENIES EXTRA PUBLIC HOLIDAY ON 02 APRIL 2024

Monday, 1st April 2024

The Chief Secretary to Government, Ivan Pomaleu, has confirmed that there is no extra public holiday for 02 April 2024.

“As far as official records go, Tuesday 02 April 2024 is a normal working day,” he said.

He became aware of a fake National Gazette that is circulating in the social media today and released a statement today to correct any doubts as to the official position.

“We must be responsible for the information we release even on Fools Day. Any day lost for work represents costs to businesses and government. Those who are responsible for putting out this fake gazette must take responsibility for causing any confusion.”

Chief Secretary said that while care is taken to protect the processes of government, this is a fake national gazette. The Government House, the Government Printer, the National Executive Council Secretariat, and his office have all denied having anything to do with this fake national gazette.

He warned that those who are responsible for circulating such misleading information, if caught, will be penalised.
