No 1 priority for new government: Investigate Prayut’s China deals

Some die-hard fans of the military may believe it, but most of them know that the claims are merely claims. Just look around the countryside. Most of the roads are in pitiable condition. Even during the 1997 crisis and the regime of Chuan Leekpai, the roads were comparable to those in the West. 
Just try driving down Rod Fai Sai Khao Road, which connects Bang Na-Trat Road to the port of Klong Toei. You get the feeling you are in a poor African country. Many of the exports bound for Japan and Western countries are transported along this road. Imagine the damage it causes to the trucks and the cargo. If a government cannot do the simple work of laying good roads, can one expect them to solve complicated issues?
This government has been a great disappointment and wasted almost five precious years in what should have been Thailand’s progress. The country will take years to recover. When the new government takes the reins, the first thing it must do is to investigate all the deals this military-backed government has done with China. I am sure skeletons will come tumbling out of the cupboard.
