Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha curtly dismissed Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat's veiled threat of a future government investigation into his administration's alleged misconduct, stating, "I am not afraid."
Pita clarified that any probe into General Prayut would focus on potential abuses of authority or human rights violations, such as land law promulgation, emphasizing it is not personal or retaliatory.
PM Prayut also laughed off suggestions of secret talks between Deputy PM Anutin Charnvirakul and Pheu Thai's Srettha Thavisin in London, attributing their encounter to a football match.
The Prime Minister asserted his current role as head of a caretaker government is to look after the people and implement projects, not to engage in the formation of a new government.
