The
second Pyithu Hluttaw’s eighth regular session held its third-day meeting at
the Pyithu Hluttaw meeting hall yesterday, where U Sai Oo Kham of Hsenwi
constituency tabled a motion urging the Union Government to use the mobile
payment system for the ministerial departments, the public, business
enterprises and other relevant sectors.
Pyithu
Hluttaw Speaker U T Khun Myat announced the Hluttaw’s decision to discuss the
motion.
U
Sai Oo Kham mentioned that using technology was an effective tool to enhance
the country’s social, education, healthcare and business sectors, besides
improving its productivity sectors. “We can overcome difficulties rapidly, if
we can apply the mobile payment system and e-Government using ICT (information
and communication technology), and can speed up the mechanism of the government
and public services at the same time. In this regard, technology plays a vital
role to enhance clean government and good governance, and ensure transparency
and mastery of the respective fields. Mobile payments can reduce costs; gain
the public’s trust; provide better services; reduce malpractices; eliminate
bribery and corruption; reduce the troubles in keeping personal files, data and
documents; increase transparency, openness and accountability; create social,
education, healthcare and employment opportunities; and accelerate the state
mechanism.
The
use of the mobile payment system has many benefits and advantages such as
creating job prospects and economic opportunities, promoting the economic
development of the state, facilitating the socio-economic status of the people,
and helping with poverty alleviation for people across the country. A Hluttaw
representative supported the motion and Hluttaw Speaker U T Khun Myat announced
that the motion had been accepted for discussion.
The
fourth-day meeting of the second Pyithu Hluttaw’s eighth regular session will
be continued on 17 May.
