Recent participation of Privy Council members in a meeting with the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) is not interference in government affairs, said Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who accused critics of lacking understanding of state administration.
Speaking at Government House on Thursday, Mr Anutin said the arrangement had been in place for nearly a decade and was a normal practice. He was responding to the main opposition People's Party's criticism over the presence of privy councillors in the meeting on Tuesday. "It was not a decision-making meeting or an intervention," he said. "It was simply a presentation of operational results."
