By Digital Content

Bangkok, May 31 -- ACM Prachin Chantong, deputy chief of National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), on Saturday ordered state enterprises in Thailand to become more transparent and, above all, to improve their efficiency.
ACM Prachin, who is tasked with overseeing economic affairs following the May 22 military coup and also serves as the air force chief, told senior officials of state enterprises during today's meeting held at the Army Club, that this meeting was held in order to allow officials to help improve state enterprises’ performances as well as to consider energy security and alternative energy.
Board members of state enterprises must adapt themselves and reach required standards, while employees must be knowledgeable and efficient, he told the officials.
Transparancy, accountability and good governance in supervising the operation of states enterprises were what the chief of NCPO, Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha, wanted the executive board of the state enterprises to implement, said ACM Prachin, adding that performances must not negatively affect national security, especially the economy and the people’s livelihood.
Each high-ranking state enterprise official was given three minutes at the meeting to outline problems which needed to be solved at their offices.
They were also asked to submit details on reform at their organisation later today or before noon on Monday at the latest. (MCOT online news)
