BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha will lead a mobile Cabinet meeting in Nakhon Ratchasima on Monday and Tuesday with focus on long-term water management in the Northeastern region, rehabilitation schemes for flood victims as well as train and motorway construction projects.

Government Spokesperson Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd said Prayut would observe provincial water management at the Bueng Kraton reservoir, the operation of local sufficiency-economy villages, and hold discussions with 20 provincial governors, administrators and the private sector while in Nakhon Ratchasima.

 

Cabinet members have visited 33 Northeastern provinces since last Sunday, keeping track of policy implementation such as village fund, labour improvement in industry and the private sector, tourism in the southern areas of the Northeast, village enterprises and garbage disposal management, Sansern said.

 

The Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board will gather those observations for Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting, he added.

It will be interesting to see what comes out of this self-promotional roadshow complete with multiple gabfests with provincial administrators and head nodders. Talk is easy and cheap; action is a whole lot more difficult in a country where talking and doing are poles apart.
