More rule of law centres to open
The Rule of Law, Peace and Stability Committee will open more "rule of law" centres with the aid of the EU and USAID who have previously helped to establish centres in Myanmar, according to its secretary Win Myint.
He said more centres were needed across Myanmar, as legal principles remained weak.
“We plan to open more centres but we haven’t chosen the locations. They will negotiate with our committee,” he said.
The committee, chaired by Aung San Suu Kyi, submitted a report to Parliament claiming that the government was not cooperating with the committee to open rule of law centres and they would continue their task with the aid of donor countries and the United Nations Development Programme.
At present, there are centres in Mandalay and Lashio giving legal training. About eighty trainees have been awarded certificates.
The European Union hosted a workshop on May 5, which was attended by Suu Kyi and other MPs.
