President sees possible increment of govt employees’ salaries

President Thein Sein said the salaries of civil employees are possible to increase gradually in 2013-2014 fiscal years.
In his 2013 New Year message to the parliament on 1 January, Thein Sein said his administration will develop better management.


The message include: “Government could implement variety of reforms in social, education and healthcare sectors together with the increment of retirement pension”.

The budget, he said, could be discussed transparently at the parliament, and that budget law will be enacted more systematically year after year.

President said in his message, “Government could implement political reforms in political, economic and social sectors, while there are still challenges in transition processes. By taking lessons from the crises such as protest on Latpadaungtaung copper mine project, land grabbing, Rakhine communal violence, and Kachin conflicts, we will     make better management in coming years.”

The President appreciated the role of parliament while Myanmar is getting a growing recognition among the international community.

He also pledged that the government will gear up efforts on rule of law, and fighting against the corruption.

Thein Sein mentioned his expectation that the parliament would design democratic cultures and practices for the public by enacting people-centred laws which emphasize on the pragmatic and long-term benefits of the citizens.
