'Boss' debacle damages govtThe Prayut Chan-o-cha administration will have zero chance of restoring public trust in the justice system if it fails to prove its sincerity in solving the 2012 hit-and-run saga involving Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya by taking action against officials who mishandled the case and stepping up the long-overdue justice reform process. Mr Vicha's panel did a great job in tracing the money trail and connections that shamefully favoured the culprit. The panel also recommended an ethical probe into the delay and intentional derailment of the justice process. Most of the agencies he was referring to had a part in the wealthy scion's escape from justice. The authorities' handling (or rather, mishandling) of the Boss saga was just a knee-jerk reaction and the roots of the problem remain untouched.
