Five millions kyat for village administration officer post in Maungdaw

Maungdaw, Arakan State: A Rohingya had given five millions kyat for village administration officer post to District administration officer in Maungdaw recently, according to politician from Maungdaw.

“Rashid, the Rohingya, had given five millions kyat to U Aung Myint Soe, the district administration officer of Maungdaw who supervised the village administration officer election in the villages of Maungdaw Township.”

“The money was carried by Ahyas hailed from Poung Zarr - a notorious collaborator of authority- for district administration officer of Maungdaw U Aung Myint Soe.” 

“The money was given for the election of Labawzarr village administration officer.”

But, the villagers from Labawzarr village supported and casted their vote to Kaseim for their village head of the administration office and win in the election while it was held, said a school teacher from Labawzarr.

“The villagers didn’t support Rashid as their village administration officer and now the Ahyas who took money from Rashid, is trying to change the result of election and to appoint Rashed as head of village administration office with money.”

We are worrying for Kaseim, as  Ahyas and Rashed are trying to use the power of district administration officer  with bribing five millions kyat to him, said an elder from the Labawzarr village.
