Chief Minister urges YCDC to start one-stop service for Yangonites

YANGON Region Chief Minister urged the Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC) to start a one-stop service for the convenience of people living in the city. The Asia Foundation, a nonprofit international development organization, and Yangon-based Nyan Thit Lin Reference Library (Renaissance Institute) conducted a workshop on implementation of good practices by the municipal committee. The workshop began on 23 January at the Chatrium Hotel.

“The municipal authorities need to deliver excellent service to the people of Yangon. They also need to provide one-stop service for the utmost convenience of Yangonites,” said the chief minister. “Currently, we are making utmost efforts for the development of Yangon Region. The Municipal election will be conducted very soon, in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations. Members of political parties may also compete in the election,” he said. “We are making arrangements for people who belong to political parties to be able to compete in the election. We will conduct the election according to the municipal rules,” he added.

The workshop is being conducted with the aim of sharing opinions on the fair collection of municipal tax, using technology for the development of municipal areas, and providing public relations training for making tax payments convenient.

The workshop, which ends on 25 January, is being attended by municipal ministers from 14 states and regions, and directors and Township municipal committee members.
