The delegate group of national races supported the clarification of National Convention Convening Work Committee related to the executive power of the region or the state government.

According to the detailed basic principles, the Union Government will finance the regions and state governments with regard to financial matters. The regions and state governments should also finance the budget of the Union Government if their budgets are in surplus. In 1992-1993 financial year, the amount of money spent is greater than money earned in the financial year in most of the states and divisions. In the very financial year, Taninthayi Division earned K 361.37 million and spent K 213.33 million. That’s why, the division contributed K 148.04 million to the budget of the Union. Hence, if the budgets of the regions and states are in surplus in the future, they should make reasonable contributions to the budget of the Union Government.

The delegate group of peasants suggested that the 10 points in connection with executive power of the region or state government presented by the Chairman of the National Convention Convening Work Committee should be laid down as detailed basic principles of the State Constitution.

The delegate group of workers also suggested that the 10 points clarified by the NCCWC Chairman in connection with the executive power of the region or state government and duties and rights of the executive power should be laid down as detailed basic principles.

The delegate group of intellectuals and intelligentsia discussed that the 10 points clarified by the Chairman of the Work Committee in connection with the executive power of the region or state government and duties and rights of the executive power were proper for the State Constitution.

The delegate group of the other invited delegates also presented that the 10 points clarified by the Chairman of the Work Committee in connection with the executive power of the region or state government were complete and, therefore, they should be laid down as the detailed basic principles.

The self-administered division or self-administered zone leading bodies shall carry out the tasks assigned occasionally to them by the Union Government and region or state government. In connection with this, he would like to make some suggestions. He considered that the term “region or state government” covers not only the respective region or state governments but also other region or state governments for the self-administered division or self-administered zone leading bodies.

“The self-administered division or self-administered zone leading bodies shall carry out the tasks assigned occasionally to them by the Union Government and region or state government concerned.”

Other invited persons delegate group discussed that the six points regarding the executive powers of self-administered division and self-administered zone leading bodies clarified by Chairman of the NCC Work Committee U Aung Toe should be laid down as detailed basic principles.

At the plenary meeting of the National Convention held on 8 March 2005, the Chairman of the NCC Work Committee clarified that he would present what the Work Committee has found in connection with the adoption of detailed basic principles for State service personnel.

As reagrds the occupational guarantee for State service personnel, neither 1947 Constitution nor 1974 Constitution embodied precise provisions.

Therefore, the National Convention has laid down basic principles for State service personnel as follows:

(1) State service personnel shall be free from party politics.

(2) The State shall enact necessary laws for State service personnel to have due security in service and sufficiency of food, clothing and shelter, for married women in service to get maternity benefits, and for welfare to ease livelihood of persons who have retired from service.

The post-independence Constitutions do not mention precisely the matters related to the occuptaional security for State service personnel. Therefore, the delegates to the National Convention should lay down appropriate detailed basic principles concerning the occupational security and welfare.

In connection with the State service personnel, it is therefore necessary to discuss and suggest as to whether or not detailed basic principles should be adopted as follows:

(1) State service personnel shall be free from party politics.

(2) Matterts as to the appointment of employees, promotion, retirement, the enforcement of rules, the designation of service rules, and taking action against service personnel in accord with law.

(3) As to occupational security for State service personnel; the sufficiency of food, clothing and shelter needs; maternal rights for married women service personnel; and the provision of food, clothing and shelter needs and shelter assistance to the retired, necessary laws shall be enacted.

(4) Given the unusual nature of the responsibility of the Tatmadaw members, who are State service personnel, they shell be dealt with according to military law.

(5) Given the unusual nature of the responsibility of Myanmar Police Force members, who are State service personnel, separate laws shall be promulgated for them.

With regard to the clarifications of the Chairman of the NCC Work Committee, the National Unity Party discussed that in exercise of the duties and functions vested by the State, State service personnel are serving the interest of the State and the people. The laying down of detailed basic principles is proper for State service personnel to designate the duties required, approve the rules to be observed, take action against those who violate rules and regalations.

As duties and functions have been designated for State service personnel, taking steps for them to enjoy the rights of having occupational security and sufficiency of food, clothing and shelter needs is proper. Therefore, are points regarding State service personnel presented by the Chairman of the NCC Work Committee are appropriate.

Their other suggestions are:

Of 104 detailed basic principles laid down by the National Convention, basic principles concerning State service personnel have been stated under the separate title. Therefore, detailed basic principles regarding State service personnel should be put under the title concerned instead of the executive power.

Concerning the fact that State service personnel shall be free from party politics, they said they would like to suggest a little. Of the six objectives of the National Convention, the fourth objective is to ensure flourishing of a genuine multiparty democracy. Moreover, according to multiparty democracy system, the political parties will surely be in existence in the country as efforts are being made for the emergence of a modern and developed nation. The political parties representing their parties concerned stand for the elections at different levels and are to be chosen. In this regard, voters including State service need to properly choose parties and persons capable of serving the interest of the State and the people. To be able to do so, the voters need to clearly know policies and attitudes of those parties and persons.

However, some do not properly know the fact that State service personnel shall be free from party politics. Generally, the point calling for Service personnel to be free from party politics has been just stipulated for them in order not to misuse the duties and functions vested by the State in the interest of the parties they like. So, to clearly understand this, the objectives of the fact should be extensively defined.

The Pa-O National Organisation discussed that the Work Committee assessed and presented fully State service personnel affairs. Hence, the five points concerning State service personnel clarified by the Chairman of the NCC Work Committee should be laid down as detailed basic principles.

The Mro (or) Khami National Solidarity Organization discussed that in studying the five points regarding State service personnel clarified by the Chairman of the NCC Work Committee they are proper and appropriate, and that is why they should be laid down as detailed basic principles.

The Lahu National Development Party discussed that the five points concerning State service personnel clarified by the Chairman of the NCC Work Committee should be laid down as detailed basic principles.

The Union Kayin League discussed that State service personnel are specially needed to be dutiful, upright and free from sectarian. In the multi-party democracy system, State service personnel should remain robust regardless of any government change so that the State machinery at different levels can run smoothly. Therefore, the five points regarding State service personnel clarified by the Chairman of the Work Committee should be laid down as detailed basic principles.
