Opposition: Privy councilors at disaster meeting "improper"
14 Sept 02:57Key points summarised by AI
Opposition leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut demands the government reconsider inviting Privy Council members to a disaster prevention meeting, deeming it "improper" for the monarchy's representatives to engage in public policy.
He warns that involving privy councilors risks damaging the monarchy's reputation if government decisions stemming from such meetings prove faulty.
Natthaphong stresses that the government, especially the prime minister, must bear direct accountability for taxpayer-funded Royally-sponsored projects.
The People's party plans to use all available channels to convey its concerns and prevent the prime minister from involving privy councilors in public administration.
