The Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the National League for Democracy (NLD) met at Sibin guest house in Nay Pyi Taw on Sunday to discuss the return of acquired lands, secretary U Win Htein said.
“We discussed the issues relating to the return of the acquired lands in regions and states. We want to review the lands that were confiscated after 1988 as well as those acquired by the government and return the vacant land,” he told the media after the meeting.
Land issues of private companies and individuals were also discussed, he added.
The process of returning the land will be conducted at the earliest possible time, despite not having a definite time frame.
Regarding the exclusion of Hluttaw MPs at the township level in the acquired land review committees, he said, “We are now negotiating again. Only when MPs are included in the committees, can it be approved. MPs are not included in the committees of two or three regions.”
Complaint letters against the MPs were received but as they had no evidence, no action will be taken, U Win Htein said at the meeting.
“Those complaint letters are baseless,” he said. Committee member U Nyan Win also said that no action would be taken for lack of evidence.
A press conference was held relating to the personal secretary of Yangon Chief Minister U Phyo Min Thein.
Touching on it, U Win Htein stated that it would be handled according to law. “It will go according to law. We have no reason to interfere. Based on the complaint, the relevant authorities will handle it.”
The NLD CEC meeting lasted for one-and-a-half hours.
