The 14 board members will be elected from among 14 million corporate employee SSF members nationwide. The estimated budget has drawn criticism, particularly when, under the new law, the term of the SSO board directors is only two years. Mr Suradech said the SSO board has not made any decision on the issue and asked the SSO to find a less expensive method.

Manas Kosol, leader of the Employee Social Security Network, insisted the government should not step in by invoking Section 44.
