BANGKOK, 25 March 2015 – Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is urging those opposing the justice system to have faith in it.
According to the Prime Minister, legal cases involving politicians must be handled under the Thai legal procedures. He said many of those lambasting the integrity of the system have violated the law themselves.
He encouraged them to prove their innocence before the court instead of doing so outside the justice system.
On the economic front, the Prime Minister said it would be impossible to restore the Thai economy in a short period of time, and that the government is currently considering both internal and external factors as part of its economic restoration plan. The transportation routes between Thailand and other ASEAN nations will be constructed to increase market channels for Thai products.
General Prayut also urged the media to report the news constructively as it could have much bearing on national security. He said he would ask the Thai Journalist Association to monitor news publications and encourage the media to adhere to media ethics when reporting the news.
