BANGKOK, 11th July 2018 (NNT) - The Prime Minister has denied claims that he has ordered efforts to encourage politicians to join a new political party ahead of the general election. 

Prime Minister and chief of the National Council for Peace and Order Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, said on Tuesday that he has been working to full capacity without any intention of remaining in power or protecting any personal interest. 

Gen. Prayut stated that he would like everyone to work together to ready the country for any possible changes in the future. 

In addition, he asked everyone to focus on the Thai identity that includes reconciliation, which has suffered setbacks in recent years and suggested everyone think about what could be responsible for its absence. 

The PM also confirmed that the country’s justice system will remain intact and respectable as there is no ill attempt to manipulate the process. 

Gen. Prayut went on to say that his invocation of Article 44 has always been to help move the government works forward while assuring the public that he has no plan to protect anyone guilty of corruption.

Indeed it has, and the last 4 years haven't seen any hint of improvement whatsoever.

Find a safe space and initiate the fetal position. 

Denies any order to...

 

Right. Got that. But happy to go along with it so long as he can pretend he didn't 'order' it.

 

Trickier than a box full of frogs this guy.

 

And less honest.

Reconciliation will never happen until there is less money to be made when in the goverment. As long as so much money can be stolen from the states coffers while serving in goverment (or power used to influence things for monetary gain) there will never be reconciliation as everyone wants to be in power and they will do anything (street protests / bombs / coups) to get there. 

 

They will gladly sacrifice their supporters and or inflict damage on others as long as they get a place in the goverment to increase their bank accounts. When people are that intent on getting money the stakes will stay too high to play nice . So until that changes (it won't) Thailand will keep in the same circle of violence, coups and other problems.

Indeed sir

Wooing opposition into the fold is not new in the game of politics but admitting to it can be political suicide. If Prayut does not win his election it will be interesting, assuming anyone follows up, if anybody says they were approached and what offers were made.
