Painful memories
"Yingluck #Shinawatra, made #ricepledging an #electoral #policy flagship.. promised #farmers govt wld make #rice prices 50% above #market prices. #NACC were alarmed.. certain such a policy wld lead to massive #corruption & econ disaster.. NACC voiced its concerns immediately & after Yingluck became PM.. warning was ignored.. By 1st harvest 2012, signs of corruption were palpable.. govt did nothing.. #Yingluck.. chose to trust e creator of #recklessscheme"

Absence far too much
" #Thaksin when PM, took his #parliament duties a bit too lightly, hardly attending sessions, which gave his admin a reputation as a "majority #dictatorship". #Yingluck followed in his footsteps in 2011. Former PMs Chuan Leekpai, Abhisit Vejjajiva & Samak Sundaravej often answered parliamentary qns. Their presence solidified the institution. Paetongtarn & #PheuThai claim to champion #democracy. Her absence fr parliament is #disrespectful to democracy"

.........Transparency or not, is this how we judge it? You should focus on whether the rice can fetch a good price.......
