Than Shwe appoints military representatives to parliament(List in engl on)

Chiang Mai (Mizzima) – Burma’s Commander in Chief of Defense Services, Senior General Than Shwe, has appointed 388 parliamentary representatives from the military as per constitutional quota, according to an announcement by the Union Election Commission (UEC).

A brigadier general, colonels, lieutenant colonels, majors and captains account for the parliamentary seats. In total, 110 military representatives were appointed to the People’s Parliament, 56 to the National Parliament and 222 to the State/Region Parliament. Of the delegates, 353 are from the army, 19 from the navy and 16 from the air force.

Karen State Peace and Development Council chairman Brigadier General Zaw Min, a graduate from the 56th batch of Officer Training School (OTS) and having served as Deputy Commander of South-East Command, was selected as an MP for the Karen State Parliament.

Similarly, high-ranking officers Colonel Than Aung, from the 64th batch of OTS, Colonel Htay Myint Aung, from the 12th batch of Office Training Course (OTC) and Colonel Aung Thu of the 24th Defense Service Academy batch have also been appointed as MPs of the Kachin, Mon and Shan State Parliaments, respectively.

Further, Colonel Ant Zaw, from the 10th batch of OTC, Colonel Tint San, from the 26th DSA batch and Rangoon Division Tactical Operation Commander Colonel Maung Maung Htoo, from the 11th batch of OTC, have been named as MPs of the Magway Division Parliament, People’s Parliament and National Parliament, respectively.

“The authorities held the elections. And the junta-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) won the elections and appointed the military personnel to serve in parliament. They have also privatised many businesses to close associates. So, nothing is left,” assessed Htay Aung, a Burmese military observer in Australia.

The list was announced 11 days ahead of the first parliamentary session, to be held on the final day of January. The primary duty of appointed armed forces representatives is to be military affairs, though during parliamentary sessions they will also be expected to attend meetings and carry out tasks in accordance with orders handed down by the Commander in Chief, who maintains authority to dismiss and replace appointed military representatives.

Where the Hot Money Flows

by Asiasentinel

Illegal transfers of funds from developing countries to developed ones turn into a flood

Illegally generated outflows of cash from developing countries into richer ones have become a torrent, according to a new report by the NGO Global Financial Integrity, with an average of more than US$1 trillion flowing across borders illegally in the latest year measured. China continues to lead the world, with Malaysia a surprising fifth despite its relatively small population.

These illicit flows heighten poverty, cancel investments, and thwart economic development, the report notes, In some measure they also reflect the confidence, or lack of it, in the future of the countries involved.

Illicit outflows are also generated through a lack of governance and political instability, the report notes. “Corruption often involves government officials ignoring their responsibilities or acting in violation of them for some personal, material gain. Thus, corruption also involves bribe-taking, specifically whereby government officials and others including those in the private sector are bribed to encourage or facilitate their action to arrive at a speedier or more favorable outcome to the agent or individual offering the bribe. ““These factors, along with ‘grassroots corruption’ in the private sector involving individuals, private households, and enterprises drive the extensive corruption that can permeate in the society.” The 78-page report, titled Illicit Financial Flows from Developing Countries: 2000-2009 With a Focus on Asia, was published this month. The latest complete year recorded, 2008, showed that the illegal outflows or transfers rose US$1.26 trillion as skyrocketing prices for oil, other minerals, and foodstuffs, generated funds which easily escaped abroad.
