When he seized power three and a half years ago, Gen Prayut promised to unite Thais. These will cost yet another 16 million baht in "donations" -- a word which has become synonymous with "scandal". This department, under Gen Anupong, has recently taken an interest in traffic fatalities and injuries during Songkran and the New Year. Cases like these are adding up, while Gen Prayut continues to play coy with public sentiment demanding an election date. Gen Prayut needs to tear down the red tape and get to elections or face mounting criticism.
