DURING
its meeting yesterday, the Amyotha Hluttaw discussed land grants in
Rakhine State and debated the second bill amending the Labour Disputes
Settlement Law, which was sent back by the Pyithu Hluttaw.
Land issue in Kyauktaw, Rakhine State
U Myint Naing of constitutency 5 from Rakhine State asked the Union Government how it plans to issue land grants to residents in the Kyauktaw Township’s five wards, and prepare maps for several areas in Kyauktaw Township.
The Deputy Minister for Agriculture, Livestock, and Irrigation, U Hla Kyaw, replied that the ministry has issued grants of 71 acres out of 186 acres designated as town area.
“If those who are living in the designated town areas apply to the ministry for land grants, the ministry will carry out the process to issue the grants in accordance with the 1989 Myanmar Town and Village Land Act and rules,” he said.
The deputy minister said the ministry is preparing maps for several areas in Kyauktaw Township, and the process will depend on the budget allocation and the number of staff as the local department under the ministry is understaffed.
Registration fee, stamp tax for farmland deal
U Aung Myo of constituency 2 of Sagaing Region asked the Union Government whether it plans to set registration fees, stamp tax, and fees for agreements dealing with sales, lease, and transfer of farmland under the 2012 Farmland Act. Deputy Minister U Hlaw Kyaw replied that his ministry will coordinate with the Ministry of Planning and Finance to set the fees for registration, stamp tax, and fees for sales, transfer, exchange, and mortgage of farmland, after the bill amending the 2012 Farmland Act is approved by the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw.
Tun Shwe Wah Hall in Okpo, Bago Region
Dr. Win Myint of constitutency 11 of Bago Region asked whether the authorities plan to hand over the Tun Shwe Wah Hall in Okpo, Bago Region, to the Ayemyatharyar Village-tract.
U Nyi Tun, Member of the Nay Pyi Taw Council, replied that there are no plans to hand over the building to the Ayemyatharyar Village-tract and it will be kept under the management of the Okpo Township Development Affairs Committees. However, the building will be renovated, he added.
Second bill amending the Labour Disputes Settlement Law
MPs of the Amyotha Hluttaw also discussed the amendments to the second bill amending the Labour Disputes Settlement Law, sent by the Pyithu Hluttaw.

Following the discussion, the Speaker of the Amyotha Hluttaw, Mahn Win Khaing Than, announced that the matter will be brought before the Amyotha Hluttaw Bill Committee. The Amyotha Hluttaw will hold its eighth meeting on 30 November.
