In a quiet effort to extend its reach, Myanmar’s Ministry of Home Affairs has created a new position at the upper levels of its ubiquitous General Administration Department.
GAD officials recently told Frontier that the new post of director was created in the weeks leading up to the Thingyan holiday, replacing the old position of deputy director, who previously stood as the highest authority in district-level administration.
The GAD is a civil service body that staffs regional and state governments nationwide, providing administrative services all the way down to the district and township level. Falling under the authority of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the department is ultimately answerable to Commander-in-Chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. (Courtesy of Frontier Myanmar)
