The government is striving toward achieving a permanent peace. As GAD personnel are assigned widely from ward/village-tract level to union level, they need to let the people and ethnic nationals in their assigned area have a taste of peace and strive for them to participate together and assist in achieving permanent peace. GAD personnel are also in the committees to assess cases of confiscated farmland and other lands. So they need to resolve the problems of confiscated farmland according to the law, rules and regulations fairly and compassionately. GAD personnel need to be dutiful and responsible in conducting their works to the best of their ability according to the democratic standards while keeping the 6 Oath of a public servant and work according to laws and rules for the country and the people. They need to avoid corruption totally. Corruption is the biggest threat to development of the country, democracy, peace and stability.
