2. The NUG is composed of not only those who show their faces, but all the ground organizations are part of the NUG
On September 11, Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng said that NUG is composed of not only those who show their faces, but all ground organizations are part of NUG.
“We often see critics saying that the NUG should work in coordination with the ground organizations. The PaAFa committee is a group made up of various ministries. The NUG is composed of not only of those who show their faces, but all of these ground organizations are parts of the NUG. The ground team’s leaders are also NUG leaders because it is collaborative leadership. There is no single leader in the actual government. The truth is that the township government groups called PaAFa, PaLaFa, and PaKaFa are local ground groups. We meet with those teams on the ground almost every day throughout the week. There are multi-department meetings and every ministry meets with relevant people according to the ministry. We meet as necessary in committees and commission groups. Every decision is not made without the opinion of the ground teams,” said the minister.
Currently, members of the National Unity Government are present on the front line and are carrying out government duties.
“Except for the military activities of the battalion, all the rest of the government work must be done collaboratively. The military affairs must be managed by the military experts from the ethnic alliance groups close to the region together with the Ministry of Defence,” said Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng.
