NPCO deputy spokesman Col Winthai Suwaree revealed the junta head Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha’s affirmation to hold politicians responsible for what they have done during a meeting with his council’s members to assess development in assignments each member was tasked to take care of.
He said Gen Prayuth again emphasized transparency in every government project relevant to procurement and budget spending .

At the same time, the NCPO vowed to find solutions that suit every problem, and would monitor the procurement of each project closely, through appropriate methods, so that the country would gain the highest benefit.
Gen Prayuth said none of the solutions would profit any side and the council would not repeat such mistakes.
