Amyotha Hluttaw Reviews Infrastructure, Recovery and Tax Reform Proposals The Amyotha Hluttaw held the 14th day of its second regular session in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday, during which lawmakers questioned the government on infrastructure, post-conflict rehabilitation and humanitarian assistance, while several MPs backed a proposal calling for stronger tax administration and tougher anti-corruption measures. The session was attended by 205 of the 209 eligible MPs. U Maung Sein, MP for Taninthayi Region Constituency 3, asked whether the government planned to build a reinforced concrete bridge to replace a deteriorating village bridge linking Ohnpinkwin and Thaechaung village-tracts in Yebyu Township, Dawei District. Deputy Minister for Border Affairs Maj-Gen Kyaw Swa Oo said the bridge is located on a road managed by the ministry. He noted that a detailed on-site assessment is currently difficult due to security conditions but said the project would be considered in a future fiscal year once the area becomes stable and funding is available. U Khe Chain, MP for Sagaing Region Constituency 1, asked whether the remaining 17-mile section of the Nanyun-Pangsaung road under the Ministry of Border Affairs would be transferred to the Ministry of Construction. The deputy minister said most sections of the road had already been transferred, while the remaining stretch could also be handed over following coordination between the two ministries because it forms part of the Nammati-Tanai-Pangsaung (Ledo) Road linking Myanmar and India, an important international transport corridor. MP Dr Naing Lin for Kayah State Constituency 9 asked whether the government would work with international aid organizations on strategic reconstruction plans and accelerate job creation and economic recovery in the conflict-affected state. Deputy Minister for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Dr Than Soe said more than K3.2 billion had been allocated for displaced people in Kayah State in 2025, while funds had also been provided to reopen Loikaw University. He added that vocational training, loans for agriculture and livestock, assistance for small businesses, and measures to revive tourism were underway. Although no joint strategic reconstruction plan had been drawn up with international organizations, they could participate in government-led projects under existing procedures. MP Daw Theingi Win Shwe for Sagaing Region Constituency 9 asked whether the government would continue providing food and shelter assistance to conflict-affected residents returning to Htigyaing and Katha townships. Dr Than Soe said displaced people in Sagaing Region had received monthly cash assistance in 2025, while returning residents were also provided with temporary shelters and relief supplies. He added that further assistance would continue through local administrative bodies under existing procedures. The Amyotha Hluttaw also approved amendments to the Anti-Online Fraud Bill before deciding that 30 disputed provisions between the two houses of Parliament would be referred to the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw for final deliberation. The debate then continued on a proposal submitted by Daw Soe Soe Myint, MP for Mon State Constituency 12, urging the Union Government to strengthen tax collection and combat corruption. Supporting the proposal were Daw Aye Chan Mon (Mon State Constituency 6), Daw Malar San (Shan State Constituency 2), Sai Win Khine (Shan State Constituency 10), Daw Naw Florence Danny (Kayah State Constituency 10), Daw Zin Pa Pa Oo (Ayeyawady Region Constituency 11) and U Soe Kyi (Taninthayi Region Constituency 11). The MPs called for broader digitalization of the tax system, streamlined procedures, the adoption of electronic payment platforms, enhanced transparency in tax administration, stronger safeguards against corruption, robust whistleblower protections, and public disclosure of tax revenue expenditures to strengthen compliance and build public trust.

Hluttaw Speaker presses education panel to revamp laws, boost vocational training Pyithu Hluttaw Speaker U Khin Yi met with members of the Education Promotion Committee yesterday afternoon at the Hluttaw Committee Building (I-13) to discuss the strategic development of the nation’s education sector, emphasizing the need to review key education laws and prioritize Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Addressing the committee, Speaker U Khin Yi commended its members for thoroughly preparing their objectives, plans and strategic goals. He said that, given the broad scope of parliamentary work, committees must adopt a visionary approach to effectively support the Hluttaw. Describing committees as the pillars of the Hluttaw, he noted that the success of the legislature’s overall work depends largely on their performance. He also said that education is fundamental to national development, urging the committee to adopt a broad and analytical approach in carrying out its responsibilities and to focus on strengthening the foundation of the basic education system. Highlighting legislative priorities, the Speaker said there are currently nine laws under the committee’s purview. He instructed the committee to review them and prioritize amendments according to urgency. In particular, he called for a priority review of the 2014 National Education Law, stressing that it should be carefully amended to reflect the country’s current needs. The Speaker also said the State is prioritizing access to education for all school-aged children. To support children who have dropped out of school or remain outside the formal education system, the Hluttaw has raised questions and submitted motions calling for comprehensive school surveys. He also emphasized the importance of narrowing the gap between education and the labour market by strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), which he described as essential to national development. Speaker U Khin Yi further suggested that incorporating ethnic languages into the basic education curriculum could promote friendship and understanding among the country’s ethnic groups and contribute to the national peace process. He welcomed the committee’s efforts to draft comprehensive legislation on teachers’ welfare and measures to prevent violence in schools. In conclusion, the Speaker urged the committee to work closely with the State to advance reforms in the education sector and address current challenges through practical and effective approaches. After the meeting, he greeted the committee chairman, secretary and members individually.

Pyithu Hluttaw Tackles Sectoral Development Challenges The Third Pyithu Hluttaw held the 20th day of its second regular session yesterday in Nay Pyi Taw, where lawmakers raised 10 queries covering free land transfer, free transportation services for civil servants, regional development, aquatic farming and value-added products production. Speaker U Khin Yi and Deputy Speaker U Maung Maung Ohn chaired the session. The Hluttaw recorded the participation of Myanmar Hluttaw representatives in the 2nd International Forum of the Union State “Great Heritage – Common Future” held in Belarus from 21 to 22 June 2026. Responding to a question from U Nyein Htwe for the Insein Constituency regarding the transfer of the football stadium in Myanmar Railways land area in Insein Township to the Ministry of Sports free of charge, Deputy Minister for Transport U Aung Myaing said the ground had originally been built as a training and home ground for the former Ministry of Rail Transport football team and for sports and recreational activities of railway employees and their families. It is currently used free of charge for Myanmar Railways sports events and ceremonies and is also leased to Hanthawady United Football Club for training purposes at an annual rental fee of K40 million, generating revenue for the department. Therefore, there is currently no plan to transfer the land to the Ministry of Sports, although it will continue to be made available free of charge for sporting events. Dr Nanda Hla Myint from the Kalaw Constituency also raised questions regarding the free road, water and air transportation services for the government staff or whether there is priority for that sector, and Deputy Minister U Aung Myaing replied that the government employees were charged only 75 per cent of the ticket fare for travel by train when they submitted MO, but were charged the full fare since 1 September 2016. He added that airlines operate on commercial investment, while Myanmar National Airlines has operated outside the State budget since the 2023-2024 financial year and relies solely on its own revenue. The travel expenses incurred by civil servants are reimbursed in accordance with the regional expenses, and the relevant department provides expenses in pursuit of the expenditure of the financial year. Therefore, such action is provided by the government. Moreover, daily allowances and accommodation expenses are provided in accordance with the Myanmar Travel Allowance Rules. Replying to a question from U Maung Shwe for the Loikaw Constituency on the resumption of Myanmar National Airlines flights between Loikaw and Yangon, Deputy Minister for Transport U Tun Lu said repairs to Loikaw Airport had been completed, and the airport was ready for operations. Following confirmation from the Kayah State government that security conditions were suitable, Myanmar National Airlines would expedite the necessary preparations and resume the service. For the question from Daw Khin Ni Ni Aung for the Kawkareik Constituency, the deputy minister said surveys would be carried out during the coming open season, and dredging would be proposed under the Kayin State government’s capital budget for the 2027-2028 financial year. Regarding the question from U San Myint for the Myittha Constituency, the deputy minister said that about 2,400 feet of concrete riverbank protection works are needed to protect Kharutoke East and West villages in Myittha Township from erosion, at an estimated cost of K2.55 billion. Detailed surveys will be conducted, and the project will be prioritized under the Mandalay Region government’s 2027-2028 financial year, subject to funding approval.
