Description: 

"Nay Pyi Taw, 1 June— MP of Ayeyawady region constituency asked to Amyotha Hluttaw on Monday about a possible plan of Myanmar Police Force to protect government witnesses on the major crimes. Regarding the query of U Khin Maung Yi, Deputy Minister for Home Affairs Brig-Gen Kyaw Kyaw Tun said MPF will make a special security plan for the government witnesses in serious criminal cases although police force has not adopted the witness protection programme yet. U Saw Maw Tun, MP of Bago region constituency, urged the Union government to conduct educative campaign for reduction and elimination of plastic bags to sustain health, environment and ecosystem for the people. Concerning this suggestion, MP Daw Khin Waing Kyi of Yangon region constituency discussed the discarded plastic items should be managed systematically with rules and regulations by the government. Deputy Minister for Health Dr Win Myint said educative programmes for people are required before the law on control of waste materials is created. The Amyotha Hluttaw agreed to take record of this proposal."
