It has taken more than three months for Thailand's second most powerful man in the government to finally achieve the basic task of giving the anti-graft agency information about his watches.
Yet the Thai public is still in doubt whether the unnecessarily lengthy process of probing 25 luxury wristwatches, seen worn by Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon on various occasions, will come to an end anytime soon.
The public needs to know how come the general with modest income can afford to have the collection of wristwatches valued at 39.5 million baht in total in his possession and whether this involves asset concealment.
