Unresponsive govt brings shame to parliament: Shwe Mann

Union parliament speaker Shwe Mann said the government implemented very few proposals approved by the parliament, leading the parliament to lose face. 

The speaker made the comment following the explanation offered by the Ministry of Mines about the recently frequent landslides in Hpakant, Kachin State, where jade mining is accelerating with the use of heavy machinery and the responses of MPs during a parliamentary session in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday. 

"Both important and ordinary proposals came to me. Some were verbal complaints. When it comes to the Hpakant issue, complaints come to the lower house or the Union parliament depending on the situation. If a proposal is important, the parliament must make a decision. The decision we made may be right or wrong because we have to do it promptly. I will send a message to the president. Then, we will listen to the clarification of a representative sent by the president before we give necessary advice," said Shwe Mann. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
