๐๐ 1. Some People’s Administrative Bodies Found to Be Deviating from Original Revolutionary Goals and Misusing Power — Prime Minister Mann Win Khaing Than
April 24 | Radio NUG
Prime Minister Mann Win Khaing Than stated that some People’s Administrative Bodies have been found to be less committed to the original revolutionary objectives and instead have started prioritizing self-interest and abusing their authority.
Speaking at the meeting of the Central Committee for Interim Local Administration Implementation under the National Unity Government (NUG) on April 24, he emphasized:
“Although there have been many challenges in implementing interim administrative duties during the revolutionary period, we are grateful to those who have strived to ensure the administrative mechanism does not collapse and to provide public services and protection. However, it is disheartening to witness that some People’s Administrative Bodies are becoming less focused on the founding goals of the revolution and are engaging in power abuse, mismanagement of public funds, and self-serving behavior. We also acknowledge that there are still shortcomings in the government's supervisory mechanisms.”
He further added the necessity to re-evaluate and reform the so-called “Three Pillars” system and to ensure that every effort contributes toward achieving meaningful and effective outcomes.
The meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Mann Win Khaing Than and attended by Union Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, Deputy Directors General, and responsible officials from various departments.
