with the laws and regulations
of the parliament.
On the president?s proposal

the Joint Bill Committee voted
against the move, deciding such
a move would be more appropriately
carried out by the next government.
Next, MPs held discussions
on the Former Presidents? Security
Bill in an effort to end the
debate between the two Hluttaws
on the bill.
The bill was subsequently
approved in accordance with the
laws and regulations of the parliament.
Then, Deputy Pyidaungsu
Hluttaw Speaker U Nanda Kyaw
Swa elaborated on the activities
of the first Pyidaungsu Hluttaw.
The first Pyidaungsu Hluttaw?s

Deputy Speaker U Nanda
Kyaw Swar called on lawmakers
to carry on their contributions
to the development of the
country by making the best use
of their knowledge and experiences
gained during their fiveyear
term in the outgoing parliament.
Lawmakers from ethnic
parties and representatives of
the Tatmadaw also extended
greetings at yesterday?s parliament
session.
In his concluding remarks,
Speaker Thura U Shwe Mann
hailed the achievements in the
five-term of the Pyithu Hluttaw,
referring to discussions on
national reconciliation, the rule
of law and peace. He also expressed
thanks to the lawmakers,

House) session concluded
yesterday with a Q&A session in
which members of Union-level
organisations answered questions
raised by parliamentarians.
U Khin Maung Aye, a member
of the Union Civil Service
Board (UCSB), replied to a question
raised by MP Daw Khin
Wyne Kyi of Yangon Region
Constituency 1 on whether there
is a plan to allow civil servants to
receive cash instead of leave they
have earned but not taken.
The UCSB member said regulation
80, which once allowed
civil servants to enjoy cash rewards
for their earned leave if
they do not take it, was suspended
as after civil servants received
four pay raises under the current
government due to the country?s
financial situation.
Likewise, Deputy Minister
for Immigration and Population
U Win Myint responded to
a question raised by MP U Tin
Maung Win of Mandalay Region
Constituency 3 on whether there
are plans to conduct a census on
the Lisu population in Mandalay
Region.
The deputy minister replied
that data on the Lisu population
in Mandalay Region will be announced
when approval is given
after coordination between the
departments and organisations
concerned. He also said the data
would come from the 2014 Myanmar
Population and Housing
Census.
There are no new plans to
conduct a census on the Lisu
population in the region, he added.
Next, Amyotha Hluttaw
Speaker U Khin Aung Myint
explained the implementation of
tasks during the period of the first
Amyotha Hluttaw.
According to the Hluttaw,
the second Amyotha Hluttaw?s
first regular session is scheduled
to be held on 1 February.".....

HLUTTAW SESSIONS:-Pyithu Hluttaw: Pyithu Hluttaw discusses
proposal to suspend
construction of high-rise
buildings in Yangon: "THE Pyithu Hluttaw (Lower
House) discussed an urgent proposal
today that would suspend
the construction of high-rise
buildings in Yangon until they
meet all existing rules and regulations
for construction.
The parliament put the urgent
proposal on record, pledging
that it would monitor the issue.
Regarding the proposal,
Deputy Minister for Construction
U Soe Tint replied that the
ministry is closely supervising
buildings that are being built by
the ministry to ensure that they
follow the rules.
However, he added, the Yangon
City Development Committee
has set up a subcommittee of
experts to supervise the construction
of buildings higher than 11
storeys.
The construction of buildings
across the country should
follow the existing construction
rules and regulations, the deputy
minister said.
Also at yesterday?s Lower
House session, MPs asked questions
about the upgrading of a
school in Pakokku Township, the
drinking water supply in Bilin
Township, the repaying agriculture
loans in Tamu District and
about permissions to use virgin
and fallow lands.
MP Dr Soe Moe Aung from
Bilin Constituency asked whether
the Ministry of Agriculture and
Irrigation has a plan to supply
drinking water from the township?s
Kazai Dam to the wards
that face a scarcity of water every
summer.
Deputy Minister for Agriculture
and Irrigation U Khin Zaw
replied that the ministry mainly
supplies irrigation water to local
farms. However, the deputy minister
said, the ministry will cooperate
with local development
affairs departments to supply
drinking water to the wards if the
departments report on the issue to
the ministry.
MP U Khin Maung Shwe
from Tamu Constituency asked
whether the Ministry of Agriculture
and Irrigation has any
plan to settle the issue of farmers
struggling to repay agriculture
loans following the loss of their
farmlands to floods. The MP also
asked for the ministry to arrange
for virgin and fallow lands to
be provided to farmers who lost
their farms.
Deputy Minister U Khin
Zaw replied that the farmers
should request their township?s
bank manager to delay the deadline
for loan repayment.
During the last rainy season,
floods damaged 7,318 acres
of farmland in Tamu District, of
which 4,353 acres have been recovered.
At the parliament session,
Minister for Health Dr Than
Aung suggested that more wards
be added to Yangon General
Hospital, as the hospital has seen
an increase in the number of patients
it receives, jumping from
around 25,000 in 2013 to 62,500
in 2014.".....

the country, he added.".....

amendments to two bills: "THE Pyithu Hluttaw (Lower
House) discussed and approved
amendments to two
bills, including the Presidential
Security Bill, during its
meeting in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.
U Tin Maung Oo from the
Shwe Pyi Thar Constituency
asked if the Ministry of Immigration
and Population had
a plan to amend the law and
bylaw on issuing of household
lists and citizenship identity
cards to migrants and squatters.
In response to the question,
the Deputy Minister for
Immigration and Population
replied that the ministry has
no plans to amend the law and
bylaw since the issue came
from the internal migration of
people.
While currently issuing
citizenship cards to migrants
and squatters, the ministry is
facing difficulties in getting
correct and complete information
and documents from
migrants and squatters as they
are moving from one place to
another frequently.
Regarding the question of
MP T Khun Myat from Kalewa
Constituency on fighting against
narcotic drugs, Deputy Minister
for Home Affairs Brig-Gen
Kyaw Kyaw Tun said the government
adopted a 15-year plan
from 1999 to 2014 for the elimination
of drugs and adopted a
five year plan from 2014-2015
to 2018- 2019 for the elimination
of the production and use
of drug, stepping up its efforts
in the fight."...Amyotha Hluttaw: Amyotha Hluttaw passes two
bills, approves three reports: "THE Amyotha Hluttaw yesterday

three progress reports submitted

The pesticide bill and the

bill were brought before parliament
by the Pyithu Hluttaw with
remarks. The Rights Committee,
