BANGKOK: -- A SECOND phase of national reform under the post-coup “road map” should be completed later this year, Alongkorn Ponlaboot, a vice president of the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA), said yesterday.

 

The politician-turned-reformer told a press briefing at Parliament that the NRSA aimed to complete 27 urgent issues out of 42 matters, plus pass a score of reform-related laws.

 

He emphasised that 2017 was “a year of reform”. 

 

Alongkorn said some of the laws had already been submitted to the National Legislative Assembly (NLA). Eight were currently being assessed by the Council of State and 36 other laws were being written by relevant state agencies, he said.

Not a year of elections.

Or reform - of anything that really needs reforming.

And i was so naive to actually expect a list of accomplishments so far this year, but as always they are just trumping their horn about what will happen in the future.

Any indication when the first phase of reform will start? or what was included in it?
