10 years under Prayut Thailand lost money, opportunities and time - Pita Limjaroenrat

13 Sept 13:20 Key points summarised by AI

Move Forward Party Leader Pita Limjaroenrat accused Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's decade-long administration of causing Thailand to lose money, opportunities, and precious time.
Despite a massive 28 trillion baht in taxpayer spending, Thailand's competitiveness and corruption perception index rankings significantly declined, falling behind other ASEAN nations.
Pita highlighted the failure to implement promised police and military reforms, pointing to a rise in scandals, increased drought-stricken areas, and a lack of accountability regarding military incidents.
He urged for military budget cuts to reallocate funds for welfare and development, advocating for full democracy and the removal of the influential 'Three Por' group from politics to improve the body politic.
