Senate Committee Urges Social Security Office to Reveal Public Hearing Raw Data on Board Election Rule Changes

The Senate Political Development Committee's chairman, Noraset Pratchyakorn, demanded that the Social Security Office (SSO) reveal raw data from the public consultation on changing board election rules, which concluded on February 14th. During the meeting, SSO representatives indicated that the data could not be disclosed until analysis was complete, which the committee fears will limit public participation and transparency. Noraset emphasized the importance of understanding the reasons behind potential rule changes and called on the new Labor Minister to consider restructuring the Social Security fund management, potentially involving private or special organizations to ensure transparency and benefit insured individuals.
