Deputy Defence Minister Udomdej Sitabutr and his 13-man military "special government delegation" are winning few encouraging words. Headed by Deputy Defence Minister Udomdej Sitabutr, the special delegation includes four former commanders of the 4th Army Region and two former deputy commanders of the 4th Army Region. He said he expects to see economic specialists, preferably those at the director-general level, be added to the delegation or at least work with the delegation. However, he said the appointment of the special delegation is a good start and at least he expects it to help cut bureaucratic red-tape. Meanwhile, concerns are being raised about possible conflicts between the special delegation and existing agencies.
