Asked about meeting with Mr. Thaksin today. Is there any special menu? Mr. Settha said Drink iced Americano coffee without sugar. Because I didn’t eat anything until noon. So there is no special menu.

When asked about the news of the cabinet reshuffle (Cabinet), Mr. Settha said: “Right now, there isn’t any. The media goes and talks among themselves. However, it will have to be adjusted one day. And if we need to make adjustments, we will know for ourselves. I don’t want the ministers whose names have now been released to be shaken. I think we’d better work quickly. Because every day is precious. Instead of lobbying and making offerings to this person.”

I would also like to ask whether the people who came to meet Mr. Thaksin had discussed the matter or not. Mr. Settha said It is a discussion about ordinary civic problems. corn problem The problem of forest burning In the matter of cleanliness of the country It’s normal. Including the matter of Myanmar, there was also discussion.

Refusal to talk about Thaksin reshuffling the cabinet.

When asked, does that mean that you want all ministers to be more attentive to their work? Mr. Settha said “I say it all the time. And I have said this throughout the 1 month period when there was news of a Cabinet reshuffle. And let me tell you honestly. that the best immunity is functional correct operation Operate according to government policy And each ministry already has a flagship policy. Which everyone already knows what needs to be done.

The Prime Minister mentioned whether the government coalition party has sent a signal or not. Especially some parties that want to adjust the Cabinet that everyone already knows. And it is his right, but suddenly he wouldn’t call and ask who would like to adjust who. But of course, for example, the Palang Pracharat Party (PPRP) still has 1 seat left, but no signal has been sent to them yet. And there’s still no discussion.

Mr. Settha confirmed that the former prime minister did not recommend anything. It is a conversation about ordinary country affairs. Share information about what was there during your time. What is happening these days? How has the world changed? And he was an encouragement. because he was considered an adult in the country When I go to see many elders, everyone is concerned about the country. There was discussion in every aspect, every dimension, and if any help was needed from the former prime minister. He said he could call me at any time. Ready to give advice

When asked about the current criticism of the comparison between the Prime Minister With Mr. Thaksin during Songkran, where Mr. Thaksin had many ministers go to meet, but the Prime Minister himself was only with his children. Mr. Settha said The media should have to tell them how they see each other. To be able to answer

“It is normal for many ministers to live with former prime ministers. Because they have known each other for a long time In addition, Mr. Thaksin was the founder of the Thai Rak Thai party. Many ministers such as Mr. Suriya Jungrungruangkit, Minister of Transport, Mr. Somsak Thepsuthin, Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Sermsak Phongpanich, Minister of Culture, Dr. Chonnan Srikaew, Minister of Public Health, Mr. Su Tin Khlangsaeng, Minister of Defense, whose names do not need to be mentioned. Because everyone has known Mr. Thaksin longer than I have. We have respected each other for a long time. And Mr. Thaksin is already older than all the ministers,” Mr. Settha said.

The Prime Minister said that the ministers whose names were mentioned were older than himself. So it was normal to meet each other. And he didn’t think anything of it. and has already given an interview And if the media is going to say that Mr. Thaksin is more popular than himself, it doesn’t matter. and is already considered normal I can accept it here. There is nothing and Songkran is a family day. In addition, Chiang Mai is a city worth visiting. Many people take the opportunity to pour water on their heads. It’s a tradition. In addition, Mr. Thaksin is besides being a person that the party respects. There are ministers and Many MPs also respected him.

Mr. Settha emphasized that Don’t think too much about his visit to Mr. Thaksin today. Because he himself was the founder of the Thai Rak Thai Party and was an adult who everyone in the country respected. A person with knowledge Therefore, it is normal for him, as a new prime minister, to come and ask for advice and talk about the country’s problems. Including telling you what you do or is it normal? He met many adults in the country and asked for advice. And it’s already working, nothing.

Asked whether or not you have noticed why there is news about the Prime Minister. Going to sit in the chair of Minister of Defense, Mr. Settha said I don’t know this at all. But it was probably the matter of him visiting soldiers and the residences of military officials. Including the matter of his personal closeness with the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army and the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, they were able to raise and talk with each other. which is already a duty as Prime Minister I asked him that I would like him to help take care of the border issue. People’s farming area To which he responded well. But here it is not necessary to be a direct commander or the position of Minister of Defense because everyone in the military institute is professional and disciplined. If the Prime Minister asks for something and it is appropriate, It’s correct. I believe that everyone is ready to do it.

The People’s Democratic Party still pushes ‘Pai’ sits as deputy minister.

“Here, I personally think that it is not something that needs to be talked about or imagined. What must be there? Because in the past it was a normal thing to talk about. I also talked with ministers, including the Minister of Commerce, the Permanent Secretary or the Director-General of the Ministry of Commerce. So why didn’t you tell each other that I was going? Minister of Commerce Therefore, it is our duty to talk to each other. There is no meaning,” Mr. Settha said.

As for the movement in reshuffling the Cabinet in the coalition government parties, Recently there was a news report that As for the coalition government, Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, as head of the Bhumjaithai Party (Bhumjaithai Party), confirmed that there will be no adjustments in the Bhumjaithai Party’s positions. All ministers will still be working. Same place no change

While the Phalang Pracharath Party (PPRP), which still has one ministerial quota vacant, Capt. Thammanat Phromphao, Secretary-General of the PPRP Party, still supports Mr. Phai Lik, Kamphaeng Phet MP, for example. original, but if there are still problems with the qualifications again The top ministerial candidate is Mr. Atthakorn Sirilattayakorn, Chachoengsao MP. is in the next list of ministers

Ms. Sirikanya Tansakul, MP for the Kao Klai Party, spoke about the government’s work in the past 7 months that It is too early to tell what has or has not been achieved. There are many areas where the government has done a good job to its credit. Whether it’s in the matter of helping farmers, suspending debt, including paying farmers 1,000 baht per rai, there are many other projects that are thought-out and doable. This creates confusion and causes people to lose confidence. Whether it is the 10,000 baht digital wallet project, which has been postponed many times. It has just been announced that the payment will be made in the 4th quarter of the year, and he is not at all sure whether he will actually be able to accomplish that or not. Because there are still ambiguities in many parts. causing many issues that were thought to be achievable according to the policies that had been campaigned for It turns out that they may not be able to do what they said.

Ms. Sirikanya said that many things that the government should do require bigger measures, such as stimulating tourism. In the past, it was seen that only free visas were issued. which still cannot bring tourists back or generate income compared to before the COVID-19 outbreak. He wants the government to push to stimulate the economy. Build the purchasing power of citizens without having to wait until digital wallets come out in the next 6 months. Because purchasing power and the underlying economy are weakening But concentration and resources Instead, we focus on digital wallet policy. It still lacks various structures. That will stimulate spending in the grassroots economy. Various projects may be questioned whether there are conflicts of interest or not, such as the real estate stimulus project that came out.

“It’s only been 7 months. I think there are various errors. In the past period, there is still time to fix the problem. It is expected that within 1 year it will be more in place. It must be admitted that the Prime Minister has no previous experience in public administration. There may be some jams. But I think that within one year you will be able to learn,” Ms. Sirikanya said.

Asked how to grade 7 months of government work? Ms. Sirikanya said He avoids giving Grading is given numerically. Because the government hasn’t really promised anything, we don’t know what it will be graded with. It can be called fair enough.
