BANGKOK, 8 October 2016 (NNT) – The new Director General of the Comptroller General's Department, Suttirat Rattanachot, said on Friday that the department will ensure that the government spends its money for the maximum benefit of the nation.

What utter BS, he'll do exactly as he's told and if any ' irregularities ' are highlighted they'll be glossed over, excused or explained away etc as per usual.

Who selected her and who does she answer to?  The people whose tax money is being wastefully spent or the people who have chosen themselves to do the spending?

Funny how they have countless organizations meant to oversee government spending.

 

At least she didn't have to sign the order to confiscate Yingluck's assets, bullet dodged.

Yup, the whole event was organised specifically and only so her friends, family and staff can see how important she is. Understanding why requires an understanding of Thainess.

No question of the ethics or morality to do the job as it should be done just done as instructed.

People like this know if anything untoward is uncovered it will be made to go away irrespective of who is in power. 

Maximum into pockets of the Elite rulers first. Then if any left over, to the public.

Just a Paper Tiger,if she tries to overstep her mandate,*

she will quickly be moved on.

*told what to do.

" Ensure that Government spends its money for the maximum benefit of the nation".

 

First of all, it is taxpayers' money the government is spending.  Secondly, give us a break from all this b/s!

What difference does it make the Government is exempt from any and all prosecution for anything anyway. 

And I thought she was either having a baby or getting the bullet. Anyone told her about article 44?

"... all disbursements of state funds..." will strictly follow the rules and regulations !!!

Who's rules and regulations?

Certainly not the citizens who's best interests continue to be ignored.
