Pyithu Hluttaw discusses new government housing project, meat slaughter tenders

 June 27, 2017

Nay Pyi Taw Council Member U Aung Myint Tun told the Pyithu Hluttaw yesterday that 43 government staff housing complexes are planned in Nay Pyi Taw in FY2017-2018, costing approximately Ks16 billion. A separate construction project is planned for retired workers and rental residences for government staff.

U Aung Myint Tun also responded to a question about competition in the animal slaughter industry.

“Until FY 2012-2013, slaughtering licenses for meat production were not subject to competitive bidding on an annual basis,” he said. “It was lucrative as it allowed one person to bid a maximum, non-competitive price and allowed him to monopolize the meat market.” U Aung Myint Tun said that by introducing a new tender system, the meat slaughtering industry would be made more fair and affordable.
