Chairman of State Administration Council (SAC) Senior General Min Aung Hlaing called for fair and impartial law enforcement and administration. He delivered a speech at the meeting (1/2024) held at the SAC office in Nay Pyi Taw on Monday.

Also present were SAC Vice Chairman Vice-Senior General Soe Win, union ministers and officials and the relevant region and state chief ministers took part in the meeting through video conferencing.

According to a speech delivered by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the government is apolitical and made up of the majority of civil servants. 

Therefore, law enforcement and administration must be fair and impartial without bias. However, he also acknowledged that there are still weaknesses in law enforcement and administration. In terms of law enforcement, there are administrative organizations, and when it comes to security, there are the Tatmadaw and the Myanmar Police. State employees must work without party politics and serve for the benefit of the country, not for individuals. Therefore, the processes of weak governance in the service, Rules and regulations set to ensure that weak security incidents do not occur. The  Senior General also said that they need to act according to the procedures.

As the Union Government, the processes ahead as well as the implementation of the objectives, there are also activities carried out according to the regions and states. As such, most of the civil servants who have experience in the governments have been incorporated as union-level personnel due to the large number of tasks, said the Senior General.

The SAC is able to correct the past mistakes. But the political demands have generated problems. The country would be developing at a pace much faster than the current speed if there were no political disturbances in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and attacks, COVID-19 pandemic and negative international response. SAC is implementing the objectives in a correct way.

He thanked the union government and region governments for the success in implementing the task.
