HLUTTAW SESSIONS: Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (Union
Parliament) Roundup: "Nay Pyi Taw, 28 Aug
— The 12th regular session
of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw
came to a close on Friday.
Representatives discussed
a Yen 99.850 billion loan
for the Ministry of Rail
Transportation and the
Ministry of Electric Power
from JICA during the Pyidaungsu
Hluttaw Session
on Friday.
Some representatives
supported the loan in principle
but maintained it is
important to spend the
funds in the most beneficial
way. One representative
suggested that ministries
provide updates to parliament
every six months on
the work being carried out
using foreign loans.
Another representative pointed out that despite
the benefits the loan may
offer, Myanmar?s current
economic slowdown means
that the debt will also be a
burden. The representative
urged ministries to hold
themselves accountable for
the spending of the funds.
Members ultimately
approved the plan to accept
a loan from JICA, as well
as the monogamy law and
the signing of the Maritime
Labour Convention 2006.
Later, Deputy Minister
for Social Welfare, Relief
and Resettlement Daw Su
Su Hlaing explained ongoing
disaster management
efforts in flood affected areas.
She said that disaster
relief efforts could be considered
a success overall
despite some weaknesses
in management. She commended
the high level of
cooperation between experts,
civil society organisations
and the government
and added that state and
region governments will be
responsible for the reconstruction
of flood-hit areas...".....

HLUTTAW SESSIONS:-Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (Union Parliament) Roundup: "Nay Pyi Taw, 26 Aug— The
Pyidaungsu Hluttaw on Wednesday
approved a proposal to take
out two loans from international
development lenders.
The Asian Development
Bank?s ASEAN Infrastructure
Fund will provide US$260 million
while the French Development
Agency will provide 40
million euros. Officials have said
that the loans will be provided to
the Ministry of Construction, the
Ministry of Electric Power and
the Mandalay Region Government
and used to speed up several
development projects.
U Mahn Kan Nyunt of Kayin State constituency argued in favour
of the loans, saying that upgrading
the Asian Highway from
Eindu to Kawkareik will benefit
surrounding regions, including
Kayin State and the Greater Mekong
Sub-region. He stressed the
need for fair compensation to be
paid to those who lose farmland
located within the project site
area.
Daw Nan Say Ewa of Hpaan
constituency also supported
the road improvement project,
saying that it will boost trade
volumes between Myanmar and
India and create jobs.
The session also saw MPs
express wide support for adopting
an optional protocol governing
the involvement of children
in armed conflicts as per the UN
Convention on the Rights of the
Child (CROC).
According to Deputy Minister
U Tin Oo Lwin, 159 countries
have already signed up to the protocol,
including eight out of 10
ASEAN members.
?The signing of the protocol
will serve as convincing evidence
of Myanmar?s commitment to
protect the rights of its children,”
he added.
Parliament also approved the
broadcasting bill.".....Pyithu Hluttaw (Lower House) Roundup: "Nay Pyi Taw, 26 Aug—The
Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries

Deputy Minister U Tin Ngwe during
the Pyithu Hluttaw session on

has allocated K 1.22 billion to
laying 123 deep tubewells in 115
villages during 2015-16 financial

HLUTTAW SESSIONS: Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Roundup: "Nay
Pyi
Taw, 25 Aug — Pyidaungsu Hluttaw
representatives approved a
US$400 million loan from
the World Bank on Tuesday.
The loan will be split
between the Ministry of
Livestock, Fisheries and
Rural Development and the
Ministry of Electric Power.
U Maung Toe of Minhla constituency supported
the loan and said that although parliament has already approved over US$
1.4 billion in foreign loans,
low interest rates on the
loans make further ones vi-able. Daw Tin Nwe Oo MP
disagreed. She said that any
spending on unnecessary
projects should be cut and
stressed that taking another loan while the US dollar
prices is rising against the
kyat is unwise. The loan was
approved by the majority of
members during a vote that
followed discussions.
Meanwhile, the newly
appointed Union Minister
for Defence Lt-Gen Sein
Win and Union Minister
for Border Affairs Lt-Gen
Kyaw Swe gave an oath before the Hluttaw speaker.
Representatives also
passed a bill amending the
constitutional law as well
as the Myanmar Red Cross
Society Bill."
...Pyithu Hluttaw (Lower House) Roundup: "Nay
Pyi
Taw,
25 Aug — Myanmar?s financial
rules do not allow state-run
economic organisations to
deposit money in private
banks, said the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of
Myanmar U Set Aung on
Tuesday.
The deputy governor
was responding to a question raised by U Ohn Ngwe,
MP for Myaung. He said
that the government?s economic organisations may only open bank accounts at
Myanma Economic Banks
and added that state-owned
banks are permitted to take
part in the treasury bill auction and deposit auction as
a means of raising revenue
to cover expenses. He noted that the Central Bank of
Myanmar considers Myanma Economic Bank as a
non-competitive bidder in
deposit auctions, which is in
line with the country?s monetary policies.
Meanwhile, U Than Oo
of Myawady constituency
asked about whether there
are plans to reduce toll gate
fees for vehicles owned outside Yangon Region. Deputy Minister at the President
Office U Kyaw Kyaw Win
responded by saying that
Yangon City Development
Committee currently gives
exemptions of toll gate fees
to buses, departmental vehicles, government vehicles
and cargo trucks. He did not
state whether reduced fees
for general traffic from outside Yangon is on the cards.
The Hluttaw session
also approved a bill which
amended a 2012 Pyithu
Hluttaw Law as well as the
Vehicle bill.
Secretary of Pyithu
Hluttaw Investment and Industrial Development Committee U Kyi Tha read out
the industrial bill to members prior to voting.".....

HLUTTAW SESSIONS: Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: Pyidaungsu Hluttaw suspends
discussion on recall bill: "Nay Pyi Taw, 20
Aug— The Pyidaungsu
Hluttaw on Thursday decided
to suspend discussion
on the recall bill, with
members of parliament
voting 264 in favour and
235 against the bill.
Defence services representative
Brig-Gen Tint
Hsan called for rapid enactment
of the bill, saying
the Constitution provided
all citizens with the right to
recall their representatives
considered as dishonest.
He also stressed that
legislative bodies were responsible
for protecting the
fundamental rights of the
citizens.
U Aung Kyi Nyunt
of the Magway Region
constituency suggested a
broader discussion of the
differences between the
Amyotha Hluttaw and the Pyithu Hluttaw in line with
the remarks proposed by
the Joint Bill Committee,
warning that prompt approval
of the bill would affect
national reconciliation.
U Nay Win Tun of the
Shan State constituency
and Daw Khin San Hlaing
of Pale constituency argued
in favour of further discussion.
During the session, the
parliament put on record
the monogamy bill and the
religious conversion bill,
with Deputy Minister Daw
Lei Lei Thein expounding
the possibility of Myanmar
signing the third protocol
to amend the Agreement on
Trade in Goods under the
Framework Agreement on
Comprehensive Economic
Cooperation between ASEAN
and South Korea."...Pyithu Hluttaw: No extension of pension scheme
planned: Ministry of Finance: "Nay Pyi Taw, 20
Aug — The government
has no plans to extend the
pension payment scheme
for civil servants who retired
as of 1 April 2015 to
those who retired before
the date, Deputy Minister
for Finance Dr Lin Aung
told the Pyithu Hluttaw on
Thursday.
The deputy minister
made the statement in response
to a question raised
by Dr Soe Yin of Kamayut
Constituency during the
12th regular session of the
Lower House. Pyithu Hluttaw
Speaker Thura U Shwe
Mann announced that
the Hluttaw received the
bill amending the Law
Relating to the Election
of the President and Vice
Presidents and the bill
amending the 2012 Pyithu
Hluttaw Law sent back
from the Amyotha Hluttaw.
Deputy Minister for
Construction U Soe Tint
submitted bills amending

HLUTTAW SESSIONS: Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: Speaker warns recall bill could
have unwanted consequences: "Nay Pyi Taw, 23 July
— The Speaker of the
Pyidaungsu Hluttaw on
Thursday sought approval
from members of parliament
in connection with
the recall bill, over which
the Pyithu Hluttaw and
Amyotha Hluttaw were divided.
Thura U Shwe Mann
said the recall bill might
have negative effects on
measures for national consolidation,
national reconciliation
and democratic
reforms, provoking confrontation
and misunderstanding
among political
parties and ethnic groups.
The speaker stressed
the possibility of taking
legal action against unprincipled
MPs in accordance
with the constitution, the
parliamentary law and existing
laws, warning that
the issue had the potential
to obstruct the upcoming
general election.
He urged the Bill
Committee to negotiate
with political parties and
MPs for the recall bill and
inform the parliament of
the outcomes.
The parliament observed
two minutes? silence
to remember U Aung
Thaung, late representative
of Taungtha constituency."...Pyithu Hluttaw: Region, state ethnic ministries can be formed:
President?s Office: "Nay Pyi Taw, 23 July
— If regional and state
governments wish to form
their own ministries for
ethnic minorities? affairs,
they must put the issue forward
to President?s office,
Deputy Minister U Kyaw
Kyaw Win told the Pythu
Hluttaw on Thursday.
Responding to an MP?s
question, the deputy minister
said the President?s Office
had suggested regional
and state governments put
forward the issue so that
the Union government can
carry out procedures for
formation of the regional
ministries.
The government has
been working on formation
of a union-level ministry
for ethnic minorities?affairs, aiming at serving
in the interests of ethnic
minorities in accordance
with the law to protect their
rights, he said.
The deputy minister
responded to Dr Soe Moe
Aung of Bilin Constituency,
who had asked the
President?s Office if it had
a plan to form a union ministry
or regional ministries
on ethnic affairs.
During the meeting, U
Kyaw Ni Naing of Laukkai
Constituency asked how
many members would be
allowed within an expanded
leading body of the
Self-Administered Division
or Self-Administered
Zone. Deputy Minister U
Kyaw Kyaw Win replied
that expansion of the leading
body was not within
the rights of the Union
Government, as the constitution
limited a leading
body to not more than 10
members."...Amyotha Hluttaw: Farmers in Oaktwin Tsp to receive
compensation over land acquisition: "Nay Pyi Taw, 23 July
— The Ministry of Construction
plans to compensate
farmers in Oaktwin
Township over the
resumption of more than
1,000 acres of farmland for
construction of the Yangon-
Mandalay Highway,
the deputy minister said
Thursday in the Amyotha
Hluttaw.
The ministry will disburse
more than K1.5 billion
to farmers on 29 and
30 July, setting compensation
at K 1.5 million per
acre, said Deputy Minister
for Construction U Soe
Tint told the Upper House.
The deputy minister
explained the programme
in answering a question
raised by a MP from Bago
Region over delays in
compensating farmers.
The Yangon-Mandalay
Expressway was
opened in 2010.
Regarding the national
races and ethnics in
the 2014 national census,
Deputy Minister for Immigration
and Population
U Win Myint said that the
ministry would release the
draft of the list of ethnics
in the future after discussing
the issue with organizations
concerned.
Currently, Myanmar
has eight national races
and more than 135 ethnics.
During the meeting,
the Upper House bill committee
put forward its recommendations
on the Bill
Amending the Election
for the President and Vice
Presidents Law and the
marriage bill.
The Amyotha Hlutaw
also agreed to discuss the
Basic Education Bill and
the Technical and Vocational
Educational Bill.".....

constituency called for improved
record keeping for
rural farmlands that belong
to the Union of Myanmar
Economic Holdings Ltd.
Deputy Minister of

HLUTTAW SESSIONS: Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: Pyidaungsu Hluttaw votes to postpone
constitutional referendum: "Nay Pyi Taw, 22 July
— The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw
on Wednesday voted
in favour of postponing a
constitutional referendum
until after the 8 November
general election.
The referendum on
Section 59 (d) of the Constitution
had been scheduled
to be held in conjunction
with the election, but
the Union Election Commission
proposed holding
it separately at a later date.
The referendum will
ask voters whether the
term ?military” in the
section — which states
the president of the union
?shall be well acquainted
with the affairs of the
Union such as political,
administrative, economic
and military” — should be
changed to ?defence.”
A majority of MPs
backed the UEC proposal,
saying the concurrent
staging of the referendum
with the election would
pose several difficulties
but would not reduce
costs significantly.
The Speaker of the Pyidaungsu
Hluttaw earlier
this month said he would
send a proposal to the
Union Election Commission
to hold a referendum
on amendment of Section
59 (D) alongside the parliamentary
elections on 8
November.
In budget matters,
MPs also discussed the
Public Account Joint
Committee?s report on
the national budget for the
second half of fiscal 2014-
2015.

the government is making
plans to reduce the number

can be completed next fiscal
year provided enough
funds are allocated in the
budget, Deputy Minister for
Agriculture and Irrigation U Khin Zaw told the Pyithu
Hluttaw on Wednesday.
The ministry had requested
funds to complete
the Swanye and Minhla
reservoir projects this fiscal
year but did not receive
budget approval. Deputy
Minister for Transport U
Han Sein said K 26.8 million
will be spent on dredging
as part of waterway
maintenance of the Chindwin
River.
The Joint Bill Committee
submitted the second
amending bill on the Pyiduangsu

was sought for the

Law and Homogenous
Marriage."...Amyotha Hluttaw: Amyotha Hluttaw MPs raise queries on illegal liquor
license, national sports plans: "Nay Pyi Taw, 22 July
— Strict enforcement of
regulations on reduction of

while the number of

year by year, Deputy
Minister for Home Affairs
Brig-Gen Kyaw Kyaw Tun
told the Amyotha Hluttaw
on Wednesday.
The ministry has issued
41,040 liquor licenses for
the fiscal year, 170 fewer

Deputy Minister
for Sports U Thaung Htike
replied to queries about national
sports plans. He said a
total of 40 townships across
the country do not have
sports grounds or stadiums.
He also urged other government
agencies to inform
the Union government and
the sports ministry if sports
facilities are renovated for
other purposes.

HLUTTAW SESSIONS:- Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: Parliament to vote on tying referendum
to general election: "Nay Pyi Taw, 21 July

suspend a constitutional referendum

from the Chairman of the

59 (d) changing the word
?military” to ?defence” in
a clause stipulating that a
president must be ?well acquainted
with the political,
administrative, economic
and military affairs of the
Union.”
In the letter, the Union
Election Commission
chairman said holding the
referendum along with the
upcoming general elections
would save time and money.
However, a referendum
should be held separately
and requires more than
K4,729 million to complete
the task, according to the
Speaker.
During a parliamentary
meeting on 25 June, out of
six proposed changes to the
constitution, the Pyidaungsu
Hluttaw voted in favour of
only one, the amendment to
Section 59 (d).
Speaker Thura U Shwe
Mann previously suggested
holding the referendum
at the same time as
to protect public property
and funds. The settlement
of debt then increased
from 0.5 percent to 9 percent,
leaving the total bad
debt remaining at K29.422
billion.
The total amount of
debts from the 10 highest
debtors including top debtor
U Min Thein (Thone
Pwint Hsaing), son of U
Maung Maung Thein, with
K6.755 billion debt, has already
declined to K25.592

of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw?s
Joint Bill Committee.
Union Minister for Finance
U Win Shein read out
the second half-year Union
Budgets Report 2014/2015
submitted by the central
government.
The budget estimate
for the second half of the
financial year amounts to
96.91 percent of total earnings,
with 97.91 percent as
the total budget estimate of
the whole financial year.
The union minister
added that the statistics
mentioned in the second
half-year financial report
are based on approximate
budget allocations collected
at the close of the fiscal
year.
True figures will be
announced soon after the
auditor?s approval, he said.
According to Daw
Sanda Min of the Zabuthiri
constituency, the income-
expense scrutiny
from fiscal 2013-2014 to
the first half-year of 2014-

without delay raised by

length of the time for
foreign mixed races to get
through the citizenship process.
U Than Myint of Salingyi
Constituency asked
about plan to take deterrent
action against drug traffickers
and crime brokers to prevent
abuse of narcotic drugs

from the sea or tidal
waves is only suitable for
areas that do not have other

Aung Than Oo said at the
Pyithu Hluttaw Session
on Tuesday.
The deputy minister
was responding to the
question of a representative

plans to generate electricity
from the sea.
Another question replied

HLUTTAW SESSIONS:- MP calls for halt to car manufacturing at
local industrial zones: "Nay Pyi Taw, 13 July
— Deputy Minister for
Rail Transportation U Chan
Maung on Monday said vehicle
production will not be
cancelled at local industrial
zones so as to avoid creating
unemployment.
Kanpetlet Township
constituency MP Thura U
Aung Ko suggested local
industrial zones were losing
money because cars
produced there were in low
demand, and were primarily
being used for the old
car exchange programme
which allows another automobile
to be imported at a
lower tax rate.
Local industrial zones
have manufactured nearly
100,000 cars up to 2014-
2015 fiscal year, but there
was little demand for them
in the domestic market, the
deputy minister said.
U Chan Maung also
replied to the query of
Launglon Township constituency?s
MP U Aung
Soe. The deputy minister
said the construction of
the Dawei-Myeik railway
network will be continued
in the third five-year plan
of the project from 2021 to
2016.
The Pyithu Hluttaw
Bill Committee tabled the
bill on Intellectual Property
Law of Industrial Designs
submitted by the Ministry
of Science and Technology.
The Pyithu Hluttaw
then approved the bill to
withdraw the Pension Act
submitted by the Ministry
of Finance, and the Vehicle
Bill submitted by the
Ministry of Rail Transportation."...Amyotha Hluttaw: Police need reliable info to act on car thefts: deputy minister: "Nay Pyi Taw, 13 July
— Police cannot take action
over the alleged sale
of stolen auto parts unless
victims come forward and
file reports with the authorities,
Deputy Minister for
Transport U Han Sein said
Monday at the Amyotha
Hluttaw.
The deputy minister
was responding to reports
that 90 percent of auto parts
for sale at a tax-free market
in Tamway were stolen
from ports.
The police and the Myanma
Port Authority need
victims to provide information
before they can take
action, the deputy minister
said.
Port authorities and
shipping lines must be accountable
for loss of auto
parts, while agents must
only accept vehicles after
matching them with inspection
sheets, the deputy minister
advised.
The deputy minister
blamed some agents for
auto part thefts, saying there
were a number who forgot
vehicles outside ports.
The deputy minister
said vehicle importers can
apply to recoup their losses
by providing firm evidence.
The Ministry of Religious
Affairs is providing
cash assistance to teachers
at monastic education
schools, but there is no plan
to increase the amount at
the moment, Deputy Minister
for Religious Affairs Dr
Maung Maung Htay said at
the Upper House session.
The ministry is providing
K36,000 per month
to primary school teachers,
K41,000 per month to
middle school teachers and
K45,000 per month to high
school teachers, according
to the deputy minister.
The government is
spending K3.475 billion
on 7,584 monastic education
teachers this academic
year, he said. The Amyotha
Hluttaw session on Monday
passed seven bills and
approved one motion to
reduce the amount of advertisements
for liquor, cigarettes
and beer.".....

HLUTTAW SESSIONS:- Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: Government tender policies questioned
at Pyithu Hluttaw: "Nay Pyi Taw, 10 July
— U Kyi Tha of the Gwa
constituency asked the
Pyithu Hluttaw on Friday
about the government?s
tender policies and procedures,
with the deputy
minister responding to the
query.
Daw Lei Lei Thein of
the Ministry of National
Planning and Economic
Development explained
directives on tender procedures
for procurement,
construction, services, and
rental, adding that government
departments invite
tenders for procurement of
lower monetary value, but
open tenders are required
when higher costs are involved.
Tender systems differ
from ministry to ministry,
she said.
Dr Win Myint of the
Hlaing constituency queried
the number of SIM
cards sold, annual earnings
and taxes from foreign
mobile operators.
Licences have been
issued to Myanma Posts
and Telecommunications,
Ooredoo Myanmar Ltd
and Telenor Myanmar Ltd.
Deputy Minister for
Communications and Information
Technology U
Win Than in response said
MPT, in partnership with
KSGM Co Ltd, sold over
8.66 million SIM cards
from September 2014 to
June 2015, earning K9.154
billion with commissions
deducted and K574.967
billion from calls, mobile
data and recharges.
Ooredoo is required
to pay U S$1.010 billion
in tax in three installments
for its 15-year mobile
services in the country.
It has paid K741.653 billion
(US $757.5 million),
which is 75 percent of the
total sum. It will pay the
remaining $252.5 million
this fiscal year. Telenor
has paid K363.155 billion
(US $375 million), 75 percent
of US $500 it owes to
the ministry, with the remaining
payment of $125
million to be made this fiscal
year.
MPT does not have
to pay the tax, the deputy
minister noted.
MPT is licensed for 15
years from 24 March 2014
to 23 March 2030, while
Ooredoo and Telenor are
licensed from 5 February
2014 to 4 February 2029,
with the ministry hinting
at possible extension in accordance
with the communications
laws, rules and
regulations.
The Pyithu Hluttaw
approved the Red Cross
society bill, the evidence
act amendment bill and the
oil well bill.".....

HLUTTAW SESSIONS:- Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: Pyidaungsu Hluttaw debates extension
of retirement age: "Nay Pyi Taw, 9 July
— The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw
heard vigorous debate
Thursday from MPs arguing
for and against extending
the retirement age for
civil servants from the current
60 years.
Fourteen representatives
discussed two separate
proposals on the issue
— one seeking to keep the
retirement age at 60 and the
other pushing to raise it to
63.
U Khin Maung Nyo
of Loikaw constituency
supported maintaining the
status quo, while L t - C o l
Hlaing Win, representative
of defence services, spoke
in favour of raising the age,
arguing civil servants aged
60 and above with rich experience
would contribute a
lot to the country, provided
they were healthy enough
to continue working.
U Htan Lain of Mintut
constituency was against
the proposed extension,
saying it could become a
barrier to promotion for
subordinates. In a similar
vein, U Sai Than Naing of
Phapun constituency said
extension of the retirement
age would fuel the unemployment
problem.
U Kyaw Thu, Chairman
of the Union Civil
Services Board, said the
issue had undeniable pros
and cons, but hinted that
the board would extend
the retirement age if it was
deemed to be in the interests
of the country and civil
workforce.
The parliament approved
three bills — the
boiler bill, the election
commission amendment
bill and the dams bill —
that came from the president
with remarks.
The parliament also
put on record four bills
concerning television and
radio broadcasting, preservation
and maintenance of
ancient artefacts and buildings,
and development of
border areas and national
races. Also put on record
were issues related to reformation
of village-tracts in
Rakhine State, Shan State,
Mandalay Region, Yangon
Region and Ayeyawady
Region.".....

at the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw
on Wednesday in connection
with the constitution
amendment bill of Section
436(b), of which amendment
to chapters, sections
and sub-sections did not win
the support of over 75 percent
of the vote of the representatives
but Schedules
2 and 5 were approved with
over 75 percent of the vote.
U Khin Maung Nyo of
Loikaw constituency urged
the parliament and the central
government to continue
to use the existing retirement
system, which allows
civil servants to retire on the
day they turn 60.
He added that changes
to the retirement system
are against the will of the
people and that the plan to
extend the retirement age
will involve taking into consideration
the population
growth, the life expectancy
of the people, literacy rate,
the population of able workers,
unemployment rate,
economic aspects, GDP rate
and healthcare. According
to him, eight of 10 ASEAN
countries regard the age of
60 years as retirement age.
Myanmar has a life
expectancy of 66 years in
average, with 64 years for
men and 68 for women, he
added.".....
