The two bills amending the constitution for the second time, approved by the Joint Constitutional Amendment Committee, will be submitted to Union Parliament after they have been signed by over 20 percent of MPs, said committee secretary Dr Myat Nyana Soe. 

"Twenty percent of MPs have to sign. Most will be from the National League for Democracy. The submission will be made by our committee. U Tun Tun Hein (committee chairman) will submit the bills. Ethnic parliamentary representatives have given their signatures. Our committee members have also given their signatures. On January 23, more MPs will be signing the bills. MPs from Zomi Congress for Democracy will be coming. We don't mean NLD party alone. We have ethnic representatives as well. There is no limit. All of them will sign the bills and submit them. As we need, at least 20 percent, we are planning for any Union Parliament MP to give their signs if they are willing," said Dr Myat Nyanna Soe. 

He stressed the need for unity among parliamentarians as the constitution says charter change requires approval of over 75 percent of parliamentary representatives. 

"The reason why I say this is that a media asked me what we shall do if over 75 percent does not approve. If that's so, we can do nothing. So we need to try to acquire more 75 percent. We must be united. If we are united, we will be able to fulfill the true wish of the people," he added.
