Description: 

"Nay Pyi Taw, 19 May — Deputy Minister at the President Office U Kyaw Kyaw Win explained the three steps of government?s reform plan in response to the query of MP U Khet Htein Nan from Kachin state constituency 1 at Amyotha Hluttaw session on Tuesday. U Kyaw Kyaw Win said since the government has taken office in 2011, it adopted the first phase of reform plan namely ?First Wave?, and formed Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, Pyithu Hluttaw and Amyotha Hluttaw along with the Union Government and State/ Region governments in accordance with 2008 Constitution. Under the ?Second Wave?, the government made political and economic reforms in 2011; development of management on public affairs in 2012; modification of private sector. The ?Third Wave? initiated on 10 June 2014 includes laying a good foundation for the new democratic state and fulfilling the needs of people in social and economic sectors. The deputy minister added plans were made to foster the earlier step by the following step. Regarding company registration process suggested by U Hla Swe, MP of Magway Region constituency 12, Deputy Minister for National Planning and Economic Development Daw Lei Lei Thein said the Company Registration Office is liable for checking the needs of registration process, and that it is not possible to make a deep investigation on possible entrepreneurs for easy registration process. She said complaints on embezzlement and misuse can be reported to the Ministry of Home Affairs for legal actions. U Nein Khinn Paung, MP of Chin state constituency 7, asked for publication of newspapers in Zolai language, one of the Chin ethnic groups. Deputy Minister for Information U Pike Htway said there are many other ethnic languages in Chin state, and permission for Zolai language newspaper is tantamount to negligence on other minorities in Chin state, adding that it will not be allowed for this newspaper. Amyotha Hluttaw then approve the bill on amendment of Union Election Commission Law."
