President Htin Kyaw has accepted the resignations of four ministers in the cabinets of the Bago and Magwe governments, bringing to at least seven the number of ministers from state and regional administrations to depart their posts so far this year.
Magwe Region’s Minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation Soe Myint and the minister for Labour, Immigration and Population of the same region, Nay Myo Kyaw, were “permitted to resign of their own volition,” according to an official announcement from the President’s Office dated 10 January.
Kyaw Min San, the minister for Natural Resources, Environmental Protection and Forestry of Bago Region, told DVB that he and Maung Maung Lwin, the municipal minister of the same cabinet, had also tendered their resignations on Wednesday.
The president accepted the resignation of Mahn Johnny, chief minister of Irrawaddy Region, as well as that of Ba Hein, the regional government’s minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Natural Resources, on Tuesday.
Early this month, the municipal affairs minister for Rakhine State was voted out of office by lawmakers at an emergency session of the state legislature, with a large majority of MPs voting to remove him from the post for a “failure to perform his duties.”
