Non-essential government offices will observe a closure from December 29 to January 2, as confirmed by Pita Tagicakirewa, the Permanent Secretary for the Civil Service. This closure has received approval from the Public Service Commission and is designed to allow civil servants a chance to relax and enjoy time with their families during the Christmas and New Year festivities.
Members of the public are encouraged to access government services prior to this shutdown to avoid any inconvenience. Tagicakirewa emphasized the importance of this break, highlighting it as a valuable opportunity for civil servants to recharge and spend quality time with loved ones over the holiday season.
Though non-essential services will be suspended, essential services will remain operational, and Permanent Secretaries within ministries will assess the staffing requirements needed to maintain critical functions during this period. This thoughtful approach ensures that while many civil servants enjoy a well-deserved break, crucial services continue to support the community.
