After the junta was felled and parliament restored, the pressure towards further liberalization had another lease of life. Anand briefly returned to power in mid 1992. He removed military figures from many old sinecures, and installed reformers in the boards of TOT and CAT. Liberalization and privatization remained on the agenda through the early 1990s. After long discussions, in 1995 the TOT board passed a resolution to move towards privatization within one year. But nothing came of this. Reality was that the business politicians were now firmly in control. In September 1992, Somsak Thepsuthin, a protégé of Montri, became deputy minister of communications. In 1993, he sacked the entire CAT board, removing Anand's appointees, and installing more pliant allies TOT was compromised more gradually but no less effectively. Somsak returned to the vision of launching more grand projects on the justification of making Thailand a telecom center for the region.
