State agencies told to ensure projects benefit the public

 

STATE agencies have been ordered to review their performance to ensure it is in line with the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)’s policies and benefits the public.

 

In the weekly meeting Monday of the NCPO secretariat chaired by General Warit Rojanapakdee, the junta's deputy secretary-general, officials were told they had to ensure that development projects were effective and satisfied the people, NCPO spokeswoman Colonel Sirijan Ngathong said.

Warit's order came after the meeting considered progress reports of several social development projects, in which he said implementation over the past year had led to positive changes for society in many aspects, said Sirijan, who also attended the meeting.

Sirijan said the projects were related to social order, public transport, Bangkok's crowded footpaths, solving floods and drought, managing drug problems, and resolving citizen complaints.

You mean like those killer coal mines that the government is so keen on sponsoring?

Cancel the sub order and the train order and the military hardware we don't need them. 

In scenes reminiscent of "Yes, Prime Minister", General Warit Rojanapakdee has ordered STATE agencies to review their performance to ensure it is in line with the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)’s policies and benefits the public.

 

Aah, if only Thailand had a Sir Humphrey Appleby to provide the appropriate retort to this Jim Hackerish demand!

 

"Notwithstanding the fact that your proposal could conceivably encompass certain concomitant benefits of a marginal and peripheral relevance, there is a countervailing consideration of infinitely superior magnitude involving your personal complicity and corroborative malfeasance, with a consequence that the taint and stigma of your former associations and diversions could irredeemably and irretrievably invalidate your position and culminate in public revelations and recriminations of a profoundly embarrassing and ultimately indefensible character".
