Pyithu Hluttaw 11 November, 2014: Pyithu Hluttaw continues 28th day session

Description: 

Nay Pyi Taw, 11 Nov—At the 28th day session of Pyithu Hluttaw (Lower House) on Tuesday, U Kyaw Ni Naing from Laukkai Constituency raised a question whether there is plans to open a checkpoint at Tingyantu jetty between Myanmar and China border and build a Thanlwin River bridge. Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs U Tin Oo Lwin responded to the question that plans are underway to open one checkpoint at Myanmar-China border post No 125 near Yanlonkyaing and build a river crossing in Tingyanyu of Mawhtaik Sub-Township and open one checkpoint to contribute to regional development and smooth transport. However, construction of a Thanlwin Bridge and opening of checkpoints were suspended due to security and rule of law situations in the region. China gave a proposal to build a bridge between Lauklai of Kokang Self-Administered Zone and Lonlin District of China. On completion, a checkpoint will be opened for both peoples. Only when security and rule of law can be restored completely, will more checkpoints be opened and bridge built. U Ye Tun of Hsipaw Constituency asked a question whether there is a plan to draw the disciplines, rules and regulations for submissions of government departments on fake accounts and expenditure. Deputy Minister for Finance Dr Lin Aung replied that Ministry of Finance sought the suggestions from ministries to scrutinize the titles of accounts and expenditures in conformity with the present time. The office of Auditor-General of the Union submitted the audit reports once every six months. Auditors check the expenditures and accomplishment of the projects. The office of the Auditor-General of the Union plans to scrutinize the account titles and expenditures to the government to be conformity with the present time.
