The opposition National League for Democracy has appointed new spokespersons to respond to questions from the media and to discuss party policy issues.
The NLD appointed new Central Information Committee members on July 10, naming seven members: Khin Maung Swe, Ohn Kyaing, Nyan Win, Thein Nyunt, Sein Hla Oo, Han Thar Myint, and Win Naing.
The seven members will be responsible for statements and comments about party issues and policy.
“Our aim is to make the information procedure more active and intellectual. Releasing fast information and news about the party is our objective,” Khin Maung Swe said.
The party reformed the committee because a former party spokesperson, Aung Shwe, who is also party chairman, is on leave for health reasons while a second spokesman, U Lwin, the party secretary, is ill.
The new committee was formed based on the agreement of the NLD’s Central Executive Committees, said Khin Maung Swe, the group’s leader.
The reform will create one voice on behalf of the NLD, said Win Naing, a member of the Central Information Committee. “We will even consider carefully a single word in a policy statement,” he said.
The Central Information Committee will also be responsible for updating information, such as the number of detained NLD members and abuses against party members.
Khin Maung Swe, the committee leader, is an NLD executive member and an elected member of parliament from Sanchaung Township in the 1990 election. He was among 9,002 prisoners who were released in 2008.
