According to Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, the Defense Ministry is ready to listen to any inquiries relating to the suggested move of the armed forces’ companies.
He made the comment on Wednesday during a conference with a particular House committee looking into the exchange of military-run companies.
Mr. Phumtham assured the commission that the government may speed up the necessary steps and provide regular updates by acknowledging that some problems call for constitutional changes.
Deputy Defense Minister Gen Natthapon Nakpanich, defense minister Sanitanok Sangkhachan, and members of the armed forces were also present at the meeting.
Jirayu Houngsub, a spokeswoman for the Defense Ministry, stated that the conference was intended to gather ideas for improving regulations and ensuring accountability.
Among the problems discussed were the control of resorts, golf courses, and security tasks. Some defense-owned goods have been in the hands of the government for years, and some reviewers assumed that they would entice opposition to their relocation.
Mr. Jirayu claimed that the military had been informed that the transfer of its Chon Buri power production facility was going well and that final decisions regarding the operation of the Provincial Electricity Authority would be made immediately.
The weather force said it would need to keep guidance of the facility because it is in a vulnerable area in order to transfer the Kantarat Golf Course to Don Mueang Airport.
Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, a research panel part, monday thanked the army and the air pressure for their input, but noted the army had yet to send certain finance-related reports. He requested that Mr. Phumtham issue an order to speed this procedure to ensure clarity.
The secretary stated that the ministry is prepared to respond to any inquiries regarding the proposed business move.
Critics of the military and the main opposition Women’s Party have been looking at the function of racecourses, boxing venues, golf courses, hotels, and radio and television channels run by the defense.
In order to be transparent, they have also demanded that some firms be transferred to the authorities.
