amendments to two bills: "THE Pyithu Hluttaw (Lower
House) discussed and approved
amendments to two
bills, including the Presidential
Security Bill, during its
meeting in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.
U Tin Maung Oo from the
Shwe Pyi Thar Constituency
asked if the Ministry of Immigration
and Population had
a plan to amend the law and
bylaw on issuing of household
lists and citizenship identity
cards to migrants and squatters.
In response to the question,
the Deputy Minister for
Immigration and Population
replied that the ministry has
no plans to amend the law and
bylaw since the issue came
from the internal migration of
people.
While currently issuing
citizenship cards to migrants
and squatters, the ministry is
facing difficulties in getting
correct and complete information
and documents from
migrants and squatters as they
are moving from one place to
another frequently.
Regarding the question of
MP T Khun Myat from Kalewa
Constituency on fighting against
narcotic drugs, Deputy Minister
for Home Affairs Brig-Gen
Kyaw Kyaw Tun said the government
adopted a 15-year plan
from 1999 to 2014 for the elimination
of drugs and adopted a
five year plan from 2014-2015
to 2018- 2019 for the elimination
of the production and use
of drug, stepping up its efforts
in the fight."...Amyotha Hluttaw: Amyotha Hluttaw passes two
