The existing government are continuing to implement the projects that were carried out by the previous government and successive governments as much as possible, Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said at the Union government meeting 6/2023 held on 2 November.
The Senior General said that the government is an organization to take responsibilities for development of the country. The ranks of Union ministers and deputy ministers are political positions. Staffs at different levels from the government departments have to implement the projects in detail under the policies adopted by the government. Although the governments change, government service personnel do not change.
When the next government comes, it is their responsibility to continue to implement the projects and activities undertaken by the previous governments in the implementation of their policies. In a term of government, there will be international treaties, commitments and agreements. The next government must continue to implement them in line with their policy. The existing government is responsible for takeover and implementation regardless of they have been implemented or not. Therefore, when our government took responsibility, we are continuing to implement the projects that were carried out by the previous government and successive governments as much as possible, the Senior General added.
It is necessary to resume the projects and activities that have been stopped due to a certain reason. Therefore, it is necessary to re-examine the projects and activities that are being carried out by the ministries, regions and states in order to be able to continue to implement them, he continued.
There have been some actions taken against responsible officials for not having implemented some projects in line with laws and policies. Therefore, there should be systematic measures in the implementation of project tasks, he instructed Union ministers and officials together with the chairman of Nay Pyi Taw Council and chief ministers of regions and states who attended the meeting through video conferencing.
