"Nay Pyi Taw, 26 May — Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Session on Tuesday was overwhelmed with the implementation of the report of the investigating commission to prevent losses from confiscation of farmland and other types of land. Representative of U Aung Thein Lin said that it is necessary to confiscate land after issuing land confiscation orders and compensating land owners for their land at the prevailing prices, adding that land that is not used for permitted purposes must be confiscated while confiscated land must also be returned to former owners if it is not used for the purpose of confiscation. Representative U Khine Maung Yi discussed that the process for returning land lacks transparency and timeframe for the settlement of land confiscation disputes should be set. In addition the representative pointed out that state and region governments are compensating for land differently and standards should be set for land compensation. Representative U Hla Swe was of the view that a few areas of land that have not been returned to former owners in Magway Region should be returned to them."
