No sign of charter change bill

The Union Parliament Joint Bill Committee has yet to receive the constitutional amendments bill to be discussed during the parliamentary session that will resume on Monday, committee secretary Saw Hla Tun said Wednesday.

The Special Issues Assessment Commission and the Union Parliament's Constitutional Amendment Implementation Committee as well as other organisations involved in drafting the bill continue to discuss possible charter amendments, the secretary said. 
"I cannot say exactly when it will come to the committee before the resumption of the next session," Saw Hla Tun said. 
Almost two weeks ago, implementation committee secretary Aye Mauk said the amendments were 90 per cent complete.
