Reform panels making progress, Wissanu says
Play
Under pressure to produce results soon, the national reform and strategy committees were on Wednesday discussing how to meet a requirement in new legislation that their reports be drafted “in the same manner”.
Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said that the 13 reform committees and six strategy sub-committees convened to compare progress and, for now, had agreed to draft proposals in the same format.
The committees also agreed to hold open meetings upcountry to assess public opinion, Wissanu said, adding that they are indeed making progress.
The reform committees are due to submit proposals by December, to be scrutinised by the strategy committees to ensure they’re in line with established national strategy.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha had earlier urged that the panels’ progress be reported to the public.
