‘No faith’ in Prayut’s economic team, opposition leader tells opening policy debate
Thailand’s Opposition leader Sompong Amornwiwat said he lacked confidence that the current economic team under Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha could successfully implement its policies, given that most of its existing team members are the same as those in the previous Prayut government.
Sompong, who is the new leader of Pheu Thai Party, was the first MP to kick off Thursday’s parliamentary debate after Prayut finished announcing the government's policies.
Sompong added that the previous government had failed to solve either the nation’s economic difficulties or to address the concentration of wealth among a small group of people.
