Senate speaker: Govt performs poorly


The government has yet to meet a myriad of expectations, particularly those related to performance and political stability, Senate Speaker Prasopsuk Boondet said Tuesday churning out his report card on the government's six-month record.

"The government has not satisfactorily tackled economic woes and the political situation has not been stabilised," he said.

If the country is to advance forward, it is imperative that the government must ensure the political stability, he said.

He said foreign leaders often voiced concern about the turmoil. Although they presently understood the Thai situation, they remained doubtful about the airport safety due to the two seizures in December, he added.

PM's Office Minister Satit Wongnongtaey said the government would launch a publicity campaign to highlight achievements for the six months in office.

The achievements to showcase include the policy implementations to complete within one year as outlined to Parliament and the Bt100 billion spending to overcome the economic downturn, he said.

The preparations for the publicity campaign will complete by tomorrow and the campaign launch is expected to cover all media outlets, he said.

Cabinet members will showcase the work progress in respective ministries, he said.

Deputy Prime Minister Sanan Kachornprasart said his Chart Thai Pattana Party was satisfied with the coalition bandwagon.

"I expect the coalition to last at least for six more months," he said, pointing out there was no serious rift among the coalition partners.

Even though the coalition might have some differences, this did not spiral out of control to impact on the alliance, he said.
