Former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is calling on the regime to make good on its promises made when the military seized power three years ago.
Marking the third anniversary of the May 2014 coup, the ex-premier has turned to Facebook to remind the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) of the pledges it made.
According to Ms Yingluck, the regime used the ongoing political conflicts to justify its seizure of power, and promised to implement reforms to tackle social and economic disparities -- widely seen as a contributing factor to the divisions in Thai society.
“It has been three full years and the country is still looking forward to peace, unity and the rule of law.
“We haven’t seen any concrete results from the reform agenda. And if reforms can’t be achieved, all is lost, as economic damage is caused by the uprooting of a democratic regime. Don’t let the three years go to waste. I want the NCPO to keep their promises,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, Former Democrat Party MP Warong Dejkitwikrom has expressed satisfaction over the progress in the criminal investigation and civil liability inquiry related to alleged irregularities in the rice-pledging scheme.
“People have different opinions as they mark the third anniversary of the coup. For me, at least politicians and those involved in the pledging and government-to-government rice deals face a trial in the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions. An asset confiscation has also been initiated,” he wrote.
The Democrat politician who spearheaded a campaign against Ms Yingluck over the rice-pledging scheme said it should serve as a lesson for politicians who consider exploiting the plight of the poor for personal gain.
