PDC Encourages Corrupt Official

Tin Maung Win
Chief Official
Land Survey Department
Tanda
Kyauk Tan Township

Since the beginning of May, land survey official Tin Maung Win has been demanding farm shelter repair fees from the farmers in his catchment area, 'inventing' a charge of between K 20,000/- to 50,000/- each.

The farmers, who are all due to repair and maintain their paddy shelters themselves for the new ploughing season, were unhappy about this unnecessary extra cost and have reported the case to Kyauk Tan Peace and Development Council. So far no action has been taken against this blatantly corrupt official.
