BANGKOK, 29 January 2016 (NNT) – The National Reform Steering Assembly has confirmed with members of the press its determination to make 2016 a year of reform.

NRSA President Tinnapan Nakata along with his vice presidents, Alongkorn Ponlaboot and Walairat Sri-arun on Thursday attended a Meet The Press event which took place at the Parliament.

During the event, Mr. Tinnapan said that the NRSA has already approved four reform plans which confirms the assembly’s commitment to making this year a year of reform.

He said that, once all draft laws for these plans pass the final review by their respective committees, they will be submitted to the Cabinet for consideration.

Meanwhile, Mr. Alongkorn told members of the press that the NRSA, the National Legislative Assembly and the Cabinet have been working together closely, in a manner that includes a coordinating committee tasked with directing the national reform efforts.

Ms. Walairat later said that there remain some people who are against the NRSA because they may not have the right understanding about the role of the assembly, and that is one of the reasons that the NRSA is keen to promote public participation.

People like that reform. Maybe we should get us some?

Should be fun watching them achieve.....what in 2016?

took them several years to decide on 4 plans, now they have to figure out what the plans are going to be, that should take a year or two more. take your time fellows but thanks for the press announcement informing us of the great progress you are making. personally I was worried they where going to make it 6 or 15 or 2 so this is a real step forward

"the NRSA has already approved four reform plans"

And these plans are.....?

It seems transparency in government is not one of the reforms.

The National Reform Steering Assembly has confirmed with members of the press its determination to make 2016 a year of CONFORM!
