Burma’s President Htin Kyaw has formed nine new committees and commissions, including a National Planning Commission, over which he will preside, and a committee to oversee the country’s protracted land disputes, chaired by the ethnic Chin Vice President Henry Van Thio.
According to a statement from the President’s Office, the National Planning Commission was formed on Thursday to scrutinize state projects and joint ventures with the private sector, assessing project feasibility, implementation and the prevention of budgetary waste. It can also make suggestions and issue approvals or rejections on projects proposed by ministries and local governments.
Chaired by the president, the commission includes Burma’s two vice presidents, all 20 Union-level ministers, the attorney-general, accountant-general, and the chief ministers of all 14 states and divisions. (Courtesy of Irrawaddy)
