Myanmar's (Burma's) finance minister 'allowed to resign'
Kyaw Win was “allowed to resign”, the president said in a short statement posted on the presidency’s official Facebook page late on Friday.
This week the English-language news magazine Frontier cited the head of Myanmar’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) as saying that the body was in the final stage of an investigation into corruption allegations against Kyaw Win.
In March 2016*, it emerged that Kyaw Win’s degree in finance was bogus, having been bought from a Pakistan company that accredited it to the fictional “Brooklyn Park” university.
“I am not going to call myself ‘Dr’ any more, as I know now that it is a fake university. The PhD on my CV is not a real qualification,” he told the Myanmar Times after being confronted with the truth about his fabricated qualification.
*Yet it took two years for him to be kicked out?
