In addition, the military leader said that in order to successfully implement the requested national expenditures within the specified period, a budget pre-screening committee will be formed and verified, the military leader said.
After Lt. Gen. Moe Myint Tun, who was considered a confidant of the military leader, was sentenced to life imprisonment for using his position and making abusive promises, the military leader said to verify the country's spending requests and expenditures.
On the other hand, what the military leader said to check the spending is to fight corruption and the lack of spending in the military council, which is under international sanctions. Analysts say it also reflects limited tax revenues.
