And an even better idea would to send the politicians back to school and allow the children to run the country.  There will be a zero delta in the level of maturity and the children in their innocence will not yet be corrupted.

 

Just watch Billy Madison to see what would happen.

after allegations of corruption have re-surfaced at some of the schools.

A year ago:

• The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) plans to investigate alleged lunch-budget graft at a school in Surat Thani.
• an initial investigation had uncovered falsified documents, failure to check food ingredients on delivery and a lack of receipts identifying the suppliers.

What happened to that investigation?

Allegations of corruption in the school lunch program has been an ongoing problem during PM Prayut's five-year regime and NOW he orders an investigation?
