Buganda's bank branches, municipal offices and public schools close on Burundi's statutory holidays just as they do everywhere else in the country — shops and restaurants more often stay open with adjusted hours rather than closing outright.
A statutory holiday falling on a Saturday or Sunday in Buganda doesn't simply get skipped — Burundi's gazette process typically moves the observed day off to the following Monday.
Buganda runs on the Africa/Bujumbura time zone, so statutory holidays here fall on the same local calendar date as the rest of Burundi — there's no cross-timezone shift to account for.
