Sources: The Daily Times (Lilongwe) and Malawi public holidays. Malawi's Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, George Chaponda, has announced that Cabinet has (finally) approved the 2006 Parliamentary resolution restoring Kamuzu Day as a public holiday, observed annually on May 14th, in honor of Malawi's first president Hastings Kamuzu Banda, and that the new public holiday has already been gazetted.Regular readers of this blog will recall that, despite the restoration of the Kamuzu Day public holiday having been voted by Malawi's Parliament in late 2006, it failed to be gazetted in time for it to be observed in 2007 (see our post of May 8, 2007).
