Burma should decentralized its federalist system, thereby granting
more authority to state governments to work for their own local
development, spoke an ethnic Mon MP today to the US delegation in
Naypyidaw.
The US delegation met seven ethnic MPs in Naypyidaw this
morning, including Min Myo Tint Lwin, an ethnic Mon MP from MP from
Burma’s Upper House of Parliament.
“I told them that we wanted the US to pressure the Burmese government to allow the state governments to practice their own rights and reduce the overreaching power of the federal government.”
We want more job opportunities, the right to teach our own ethnic language and the ability to work for our own local development,” he said.
US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, recently arrived in Naypyitaw, and Derek Mitchell, the U.S. Ambassador to Burma, met seven ethnic MPs from Mon, Chin, Karen, Arakan, Shan and Kachin States for fact finding about the current condition of Burma’s ethnic states.
After the political changes to Burma this decade, the country
now has both a state and central federal government However, ethnic MPs
have continually reiterated that the state governments hold very
limited rights to work for themselves towards their own development,
unlike the rich democracy of neighboring India, which was a colony of
Britain alongside Burma.
“We learned a great deal about governmental institutions there when we went for a study trip. We found that state governments in India have a lot of opportunity to work for their local development,” said Banyar Oung Moe, who is another ethnic Mon MP from Burma’s Upper of House of Parliament.
