As a part of the immigration and population ministry’s 100-day plan, citizenship scrutiny will be carried out nationwide despite possible challenges, Minister U Thein Swe told the Pyithu Hluttaw on May 20.
“As a first priority and a part of the 100-days plan, we’ve already arranged a work program for the citizenship scrutinising process that will be carried out systematically across the country and in accordance with the 1982 Myanmar Citizenship Law,” U Thein Swe said.
The Minister for Labour, Immigration and Population replied to a proposal submitted by MP Daw Khin Saw Wai from Rakhine State.
In her proposal she called on the government to initiate a nationwide citizenship scrutinising program to deal with what she said is an increasing number of illegal immigrants. Other ethnic MPs seconded her proposal. (Courtesy of mmtimes.com)
