The Arakan National Party is taking issue with the profusion of retired military officials embedded within ministry ranks.
Last year, the health, education and judiciary sectors all launched ribbon campaigns against a perceived “militarisation” effect. The professionals said the military appointees were preventing civil servants from career advancement, with non-military officials unable to attain appointments above the former officers, many of whom were under-qualified.
The movement against military personnel being installed in government and judicial positions quickly spread into other sectors as well, with a rainbow ribbon protest launched shortly before the election. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
