PM stresses subsequent governments must follow national strategy

 

 

 

BANGKOK, 30th November 2018, (NNT) - The Prime Minister has stressed that the country's subsequent governments must follow the national strategy, in order to seamlessly continue the work in an integrated manner, as prescribed by law. 

The comment came during the 5th meeting of the year of the National Strategy Committee. Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha underlined the importance of continuing the work laid out in the national strategy. 

He emphasized the implementation of the plan in an integrated manner in terms of human resources, projects, and budget. General Prayut, therefore called on the coming administrations to follow the guidelines in the strategy, focusing on performance indicators and installing monitoring mechanism, especially regarding the budget. 

The Prime Minister underlined that the constitution clearly mandates governments to implement the national strategy and the reform plan.

So what’s the point in voting for a polical party whose policies you like if that politcal party has to follow the policies of a party you didn’t vote for?

That IS the point.

I know. Just venting at the sheer audacity of the man.

[sjaak327]

The previous constitution clearly stated it was not allowed to stage a coup. Yet that didn't stop Prayuth from staging one. Now he expects future governments (which would have secured an electoral mandate) to follow laws drafted illegally ?

 

Yeah right. 

[GarryP]

Numbnuts and his toadies don't understand that a fixed 20 year plan is detrimental to the development of the country. Plans need adjusting or changing as surrounding factors change. There needs to be room to move so flexibility in plans is important.

But, on a more relevant note does he know those glasses make him look like a panda

He keeps repeating this ad nauseam as if he is frightened someone is going to take it away from him. Has anybody bothered to read this Master Plan?

The 20 Year National Strategic Plan is nothing more than a mission statement of dreams and ideals for the future of the country. Nothing wrong with that if it gives the country some direction of where it should be headed. In reading through the PLAN is don't see anything in it that is particularly objectionable; rather it seems just an outpouring of dreams. 

It doesn't matter who is in government it will be a herculean (impossible?) task to get to the end of the road and achieve these ideals. A few stumbling blocks might be the Country's embedded corruption, the distressingly inadequate education system and ministerial and bureaucratic incompetence; those are just a few. The last 4 years doesn't give much encouragement for the next 16.

There will be many obstacles to overcome in the next 20 years to get Thailand to the state of nirvana that the PM dream's about.

Well he is talking to himself;

after all, I don't suppose he expects anyone else to be in charge for the foreseeable future.

What national strategy? The committee to appoint the committee to appoint the heads of the 6 committees tasked with drafting the plans have not been appointed. I get a headache just trying to understand what Prayut is talking about.  

[zzaa09]

It has been written.

 

No need to look behind the curtain.....nothing to see.

Move along now.

20 year iron fist. Go against or try change the junta’s strangle hold and go to jail. Really no need for elections.

I think that is his general strategy for the entire country. Seems to be working.

[Denim]

Never mind, if by some miracle a non junta party wins the rigged election then they can use article 44 to nullify the 20 year plan.

 

Although that article belongs to the junta so it will be article 45.

More along the lines of a royal decree and blessings.

So Phuket and Pattaya will get metered taxi's?

 

And in BKK we won't see anymore drivers going against traffic?

We can only dream about the leaving bit i fear

[holy cow cm]

Good luck. Only way to break the plan is 100% revolt and then the military has to take sides for the real red an other parties against the elite. If you divide the military, you effectively can stop the Junta and old elitist.                  

[madmitch]

As Thailand averages a new constitution approximately every four years then a new one will be due shortly after any new Government takes office; irrelevant if Prayut and Co retain control but in the unlikely event of a surprise result then it might get interesting.

What are democratically voted governments for if voted by a nation in a just and fair election without fear, pressure and/or forcibly? To serve the nation or the nation to serve it?

 

A democratic government should have flexibility based on current global plus domestic issues, endorsed by the public concerned that the ruling democratic government is supposed to represent and serve.

 

Following a plan that is seemingly not welcomed, forced upon a nation in fear in an undemocratic way by forced military rule is not much to look forward to for those concerned and a possible hint that marshal law will prevail under the watchful eye of an insensitive dictator who tells Thai farmers to sell their rice on plant Mars!

 

In other words, do as I command or else.

 

Why hold a possible election? 

 

All spin with minced words just for show.

 

keep the masses in controlled fear and treat them as slaves. 

 

I wonder how popular the current dictator really is?

He makes little sense and then he gets angry when people question him.  He is just mind numbing.

So the nation cannot change its own strategy because the army does not want it to.  A 20 year lock in.  Think the people better decide.

This is almost funny…. and it will (maybe) last until the next coup installs the next junta. After all, it's not a matter of ‘if’…only a matter of when.

A post and a reply containing a disallowed reference to the PM has been removed. 

 

Referring to Thailand or the government as a dictatorship, military dictatorship or other such terms will be removed.

Spot on! He talks about performance indicators, monitoring and checking mechanisms and controls on budgets. Laudable transparent governance processes.

 

Now, when will those indicators and control information and reports for the last 4 years be issued so other new governments can benchmark themselves against the current government?

 

NB: this is a rhetorical question often used in sarcastic and ironic comments.

Translated: You either keep the power structure that we've set up, or we'll come back at the end of a gun and retake control of the government again.  It's the law that you now continue governing the country the way we tell you to - forever.  Fail to do that: Coup Time!
