Pyithu Hluttaw representatives discussed a proposal calling for the Union government to make efforts to help and protect abused and exploited Myanmar citizens working abroad in cooperation with host countries on September 27, 2016.
U Thaung Htay Lin of Patheingyi Constituency called on the Union government to cooperate with host countries to take the necessary measures to help and protect Myanmar workers in foreign nations where many of them are facing a variety of difficulties.
In her discussion, Dr Kyi Moh Moh Lwin of Singaing Constituency stressed the need to facilitate a legal channel for migration with the relaxation of restrictions and called for the adoption of plans to register legal and illegal Myanmar workers in foreign countries. During the 41st day meeting of the Pyithu Hluttaw, a question and answer session was also held.
Union Minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation Dr Aung Thu replied that 12 farmers with farming permits in Moehnyin Township will not be allowed access to agricultural loans as the issuance of Form 7 to them did not met the proper rules and procedures and they were not on the list to receive loans in the first place.
Regarding the upgrading of a road in Wetlet Township, the Union minister said that the 12-mile and four-furlong road will be upgraded with the pouring of concrete along with the construction of drains on both sides of the road next fiscal year under an emergency relief plan financed by the World Bank.
