State agencies will be made to serve public, Prayuth
Play
JUNTA CHIEF GENERAL Prayuth Chan-ocha vowed Friday night to make state enterprises better serve the interests of the public, instead of being focused on making profit and reaping benefits for their board members.
Speaking in his weekly TV show, Prayuth said he realised society was paying close attention to the numerous board changes at state enterprises that the ruling National Council for Peace and Order had initiated.
He admitted that the junta needed to appoint some figures who served for the |previous government on boards because appointing inexperienced directors might damage a state enterprise.
“What matters most is that we must be able to control [their operations] to be in line with the rules so that they will not seek interests that make themselves and their affiliates rich at the cost of the people,” Prayuth said.
