Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha lashed out at a key member of the government's anti-corruption drive Tuesday who had urged him to take action over the luxury watch scandal involving Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon. Gen Prayut chairs the National Anti-Corruption Committee. He called on the prime minister to take action and show his determination to address graft, which he has declared a top priority. Pressure keeps mounting on Gen Prawit. The names were gathered on change.org from Jan 31-Feb 15 to pressure Gen Prawit into resigning.
