46 Mon NPF unit resent

Discontentment over non-inclusion in the cabinet and portfolio in the NPF party continues to cause impediments to smooth transition of the DAN-III government.

NPF youth wing president of 46 Mon Ngamom and general secretary N. Puching appealed to NPF party authority and chief minister Neiphiu Rio to allot a portfolio to  N. Thongwang equivalent to parliamentary secretary status.

The plea of the 46 Mon NPF, was that the seat had been held by an opposition party for the past 20 years and therefore lacked development and employment opportunities.

They said the gap could be filled if N. Thongwang was given a suitable portfolio with additional charges.
