BANGKOK, 17 September 2016 (NNT) – The Sub-district Administrative Organization (SAO) submitted a petition to the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), voicing its disagreement with the local administrative reform proposed by the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA). 

Mr. Tuang Untachai, chairman of NLA’s education and sports reform committee, accepted a petition from the Sub-district Administrative Organization claiming that merging local administrative organizations together will not help to increase work efficiency, rather it will only allow the Ministry of Interior to supervise their work more easily. Most importantly, the foreseeable outcome of the merger is opposite to ‘decentralization’ which the reform body was trying to achieve in the first place. 

The SAO went on to suggest that the legislature organize a public forum to gather input from local offices, district chiefs, and village heads. 

The petition also said the central administration should issue a guarantee of 20 million baht to local administrative offices in order to allow local offices to run their operations more effectively. 

Mr. Tuang, in response, said he would forward those requests to the NLA sitting.

How dare you suggest we get rid of our trough and join together and share our neighbours.

 

And we want another guranteed 20 million baht for additional "swill".

hahahaha, can see that their little money earner will disappear if someone else is in charge, the govt could save  millions if they cut down on the way things are currently organized locally, they all take their cuts so that by the time the actual jobs are ready to be done there is only enough to do sub par work, would be nice to actually have roads etc actually made to last with quality materials instead of the way they do it now so that they fall to pieces within months of being done. Maybe they should start holding these cretins responsible for the pathetic work they organize and make them pay restitution for it when it falls apart well before it should, then they would probably demand it is taken away from them.

From the amount of government buildings in Thailand you would think things would be easy to do ,but it ain't by no means and so so slow

They cannot even hold people to account when the roads fall apart in front of their noses in Bangkok, what hope have they of some poor work in Nakon nowhere?
