Pyidaungsu Hluttaw regular session continued for sixth day at Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Hall in Hluttaw Complex here at 1.05 pm today, attended by Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Speaker U Khin Aung Myint, Pyithu Hluttaw Speaker Thura U Shwe Mann and 612 Pydaungsu Hluttaw representatives.

As there is no one to discuss Important Commodity and Service Bill sent by the President with remarks, the bill was then approved.

U Min Swe of DaikU Constituency and U Soe Tha of Twantay Constituency discussed report on supplementary budget submitted by Public Accounts Committee on 23 July. They discussed that the period between 1 October and 30 October should be designated as the financial year to avert financial difficulties because the construction projects with large fund are carried in open season and supplementary budget could be requested in May. It would help prepare budget request for the next fiscal year. The farmers will get higher prices for their crops as they are in no rush to repay agricultural loans.

The report is decided to be reviewed by the committee, together with Hluttaw representatives, respective government representatives.

U Aung Thein Lin of South Okkalapa Constituency, U Myint Thein of Magway Constituency, U Khaing Maung Yi of Ahlon Constituency, U Min Thu of Ottarathiri Constituency, U Min Swe of DaikU Constituency, U Khin Maung Nyo of Pauk Constituency, U Hla Swe of Magway Region Constituency (12), U Tin Mya of Sagaing Region Constituency (7), Daw Khin Waing Kyi of Yangon Region Constituency (1), U Sein Win of Maubin Constituency, U Kyaw Myint of Myananung Constituency and U Sai Thiha Kyaw of Mongyai Constituency seconded the proposal submitted U Tin Htut of Zalun Constituency on “doing justice in confiscation of farmlands not to harm farmers”.

They discussed that the government should acquire the approval of the people through sympathy towards the farmers who constitute majority of the population as there are unfair confiscations of farmlands with no appropriate compensations granted, excessive confiscations and transfers.

The issue should be handled fairly to ease socioeconomic difficulties and improve hard earned lives of farmers. The approval of the Hluttaw will be sought on 26 July to form investigation commission to ease sufferings of farmers by farmland acquisition. The seventh day session will be held on 26 July.
