Play
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has ordered her ministers to review their performance, policies and work plans, as the anniversary of the government's coming to power is on the horizon.
“We have ruled the country for six or seven months, so we have to prepare to review our policies. When the one year anniversary comes, we can sum up the progress of our policies and plans,” Yingluck said at a meeting of ministers responsible for 10 major strategic plans at Government House yesterday. She urged them to rush to complete work on the strategies.
The 10 major strategies are to promote the following:
• restoring peace in the South
• logistics
• health insurance
• Thailand as “kitchen of the world”
• halal food
• free WiFi
• energy-price structure
• energy credit cards and credit cards for farmers
• alternative energy
• SME products
She also asked the ministers to finalise all plans to be included in the 2013 budget bill.
PM’s Office Minister Nivatthamrong Boonsongpaisal said most government polices are on track, but some may be late because of the severe floods last year. Yingluck plans to call such meetings more often to maximise the government’s performance, the minister said.
