Thwin Lin Aung: My view is that there is no corruption in high-level positions.
It is obvious that those appointed by the NLD are not corrupt.

It is obvious that those appointed by the NLD are not corrupt.
But in reality, there has been no significant change in the bureaucracy in the lower echelon.
And so far, we have not seen any clear policy to address this.
TLA: The NLD has talked about making changes. In considering making changes, it should think about it two ways. The first is to make changes that are easier—changes that can be made without offending the 2008 Constitution and the army, but are beneficial to the people and can be made by taking advantage of its majority in Parliament.
Another way is changes that can only be done by offending the 2008 Constitution and the army.
The NLD should have thought about what it should deal with first.
As it has chosen the peace process first, it has touched a landscape in which the army is a key player.
It has to take risks to do difficult things. The army will not like certain things, and the NLD has to hold its ground and convince the army that people really want it.
But if it is not convenient for the NLD to take the risk, it should engage in easier fields that do not concern key players.
It should engage in things that it could change by taking advantage of its dominance in Parliament.
But, it has focused on peace since it came to power. There is a big barrier, and we don’t know how it analyzes that barrier.
Maybe it thought that it could break down the barrier. But, reality was far from its expectations and circumstances are pushing it to take risks now.
We have to wait and see if it will do so.
I want the NLD to stand together with CSOs and other forces if it has to take risks.
To give you the most significant example of the risks it has taken previously, it adopted a roadmap and then a policy regarding provisions of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement [NCA]. It was really good, and I really like it.
The previous government and the army included vague provisions in the NCA, but the NLD made them clear and said that the 2008 Constitution would be changed and the next election would be held under the new constitution.
But the NLD only said this once, and after the army implied that it was angry, it was not said again.
If this is the case, the NLD should not engage in that field. It should handle fields that are more subtle and carry fewer risks. There are such fields that the NLD can engage in though there will be more or less impact on the army. It should do things like transferring the GAD [General Administration Department] to another ministry [from the Home Affairs Ministry].
— with Pa Pa Sein and 17 others.
