Surprise.. Surprise.. PM Prayuth Junta leader General Prayuth Chao-ocha has been elected Thailand‘s prime minister by a majority military family assembly. The Counter Corruption Commission has conveniently said the incoming junta members do not have to declare the assets they amassed before and after holding office. That is in contradiction to the policy for elected officials before the coup. No accountability. Before the coup, the army top Generals were only stealing millions with a long list of procurement scandals. Now, it’s a Gold mine. The whole country econom y is in their hands and believe me, they have dirty corrupted hands. No one can question or challenge them. Fiscal budget approved worth Bt2.57 trillion without a dissenting vote. I did like when General Prayuth asked after his Budget Speech, “Does Anyone Disagree with ME?”. No Sir, Yes Sir. Yes Sir. We all AGREE.
