The Charter Amendment Committee, tasked with reviewing potential changes to Myanmar’s 2008 Constitution has completed its study. A report will be submitted to the parliament next month, according to an article in The Irrawaddy. Committee secretary U Myat Nyana Soe, an Upper House MP for the National League for Democracy (NLD), was quoted as saying that the report recommends that many provisions in the charter be “repealed, amended, added to, or retained”. In the build-up to the 2015 general election, the NLD made changing the constitution a key part of its campaign messaging. However, until now the administration has made little progress on the issue. Speaking during her visit to the Czech Republic earlier this month, State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said that the controversial charter “prevents the emergence of a truly functional democratic system”.
