Red tape mounts up

» The cancellation of the long-promised meeting this month between the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) and political parties is a worrying development. Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam rushed in to assure that there will be such a meeting, eventually. This delay is a serious matter. Mr Wissanu, backed strongly by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, said the NCPO-politicians meeting would bring an end to the ban on political activities. The indefinite delay on this meeting thus keeps the public in the dark about just what the government and the junta are up to.
