The chairman of the meeting is National Legislative Assembly (NLA) member General Boonsrang Niumpradit, who is a former Supreme Commander of the Royal Thai Armed Forces. Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva, said he had no objection to Boonsrang, a military man, being chairman of the committee on police reform. “Please give me one more week,” he said after emerging from a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Kreangam. Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan said the committee should be able to deliver tangible work within nine months. Prawit himself expected the police reform to improve investigation, interrogation, forensic science, legal enforcement and work related to judicial process.
