A political scientist urged on Monday that Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra act quickly to increase public trust in her government’s ability to solve the numerous issues besetting the nation by initial describing the actions her administration intends to take to address the issues.
The PM may, most notably, properly explain to the public how her administration intends to use the budget to fund initiatives that have been flagged as “urgent”,” added Assoc Prof. Thanaporn Sriyakul.
” This will enable her to shine brighter than her father]former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra ]”, he said.
Nevertheless, he warned that Ms. Paetongtarn and the Pheu Thai Party may face charges for allowing an “outsider” to control their policies and positions if her administration’s plan statement turns out to be nothing more than a copy of the perception Thaksin outlined in a conference on August 22.
The political scientist urged the government coalition’s members to refrain from acting as the PM’s protectors and to allow Ms. Paetongtarn to show her abilities.
