Anutin" responded to the issue of issuing a letter to the Chiang Rai governor, explaining that he was not there while he was visiting the area, pointing out that he did not have to welcome him, but had to work together, and saw it as inappropriate. He asked that the issue not be prolonged. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul spoke about the case of the Ministry of Interior issuing a letter to the Chiang Rai Governor to clarify the case of not being in the area while people were suffering from floods, saying that please do not pay attention to it, everything is in the past. He has already informed that if he goes on a mission to act on behalf of the Prime Minister or Minister of Interior, the governor should be in the area where the incident occurred. He confirmed that he did not ask the governor to welcome him, but to come to work together. As for the trend on social media saying that he had to come to welcome him, that is not true. If he travels to worship in any province, he does not have to come. But if he goes to perform a mission, he must come because he is a direct subordinate. Please do not try to divert the issue. When asked further that there were rumors that the governor would come to the area in the evening, Mr. Anutin stated that he would probably return to the area already. He already knew that Mr. Phumtham and himself would go because it was scheduled to arrive at Chiang Rai airport at 9 am. Having an important mission the day before was not the day of the visit. Therefore, the mission that was completed by around 7 pm before the day he went to the area, there was still a flight back to Chiang Rai Province or there was still an early flight back. Or, please call me a little bit because when I travel, I already know that I will drive the plane myself. If he calls and says that he cannot find a flight back or cannot catch a car back, and asks to take the plane with him, I will remove the people or officials from the plane and let the governor take his place. There is a method. If you are going, do not say anything. It is considered a public humiliation because I am embarrassed because it is my own agency. Let's say that everything can be managed and there is nothing left. There is no need to publicize whether you are in the area or not. If you are, you must be there when the acting prime minister and I go. But if you go and are not there, it is not appropriate. The work will be ruined or not. I do not know. People who do not understand say that the minister went. Why did he have to have the governor come to welcome him? Where did it come from? It's not. You have to understand the system of the Ministry of Interior. As for the governor's explanation, up until today there has been no report. But we have already issued a letter for the permanent secretary to come to Thailand to inquire, and he has replied. Don't go on and on about it. The governor is close to retirement. It's up to you. We understand some people. As for the future approach to working together, there will be n one. We believe that everyone will be satisfied. Source: Thai News Agency
