Government House, Oct 8 - "Prasert" believes that appointing "Nattawut" as an advisor to the Prime Minister is to help communicate the government's performance. He said he did not know that "Newin" entered the Chansongla house to meet "Thaksin". At 08.50, Mr. Prasert Jantarawongthong, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Economy and Society, spoke about the case of Ms. Patingtarn Shinawatra, the Prime Minister, who ordered the appointment of Mr. Nattawut Saikua as an advisor to the Prime Minister, saying that Mr. Nattawut used to be with the Pheu Thai Party for a period of time and is a person with knowledge and ability. Being able to help the Prime Minister is a good thing, especially in political communication. Therefore, he thinks that he can be of benefit in many ways. It is also normal for the Prime Minister to be able to bring in people with knowledge and ability to join the team. In addition, there is also Mr. Thiraphong Wongsiwawilas, a former Permanent Secretary of the Prime Minister's Off ice, another person, not Mr. Nattawut alone. It is considered a joint effort in communication work to reach the people. However, he does not yet know which area the Prime Minister will have Mr. Nattawut help with in particular. As for the current protest movement, is it expected that Mr. Nattawut will be asked to help in this area? Mr. Prasert said that it might be a part of it, but normally Mr. Somkid Chuekong, Deputy Secretary-General to the Prime Minister for Political Affairs, is in charge. When asked whether the appointment of Mr. Nattawut would also include gathering supporters to cheer for the government, Mr. Prasert said the main objective would be to focus on working, helping the people, and communicating about the government's performance, including things that society doesn't understand about the government. Mr Prasert also mentioned the news that Mr Newin Chidchob, CEO of Buriram United, traveled to meet Mr Thaksin Shinawatra at his house in Chan Song La on October 6, saying that he really did not know about this matter. As for whether the meeting would make it easier to amend the constitution, Mr. Prasert said that he did not know whether they had met or not. As for whether it would make amending the constitution easier or harder, that was more a matter for the members of parliament. -316 - Thai News Agency Source: Thai News Agency
