It would be comical if it was not true. Last Sunday, government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd blasted the media for spreading supposedly "false news" that the cabinet had approved a bonus for 600 National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) officials.
He said the cabinet only acknowledged the proposal but asked the requester -- the NCPO -- to clarify its criteria for it.
After that, however, the spokesman quoted Gen Prayut Prayut Chan-o-cha as saying the officials deserved it as they have worked diligently for the military regime. They performed their job with dedication and their performances have been outstanding.
