Urges UTN to fix 'internal matters'
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra yesterday confirmed she had received the letter signed by 21 MPs of the United Thai Nation (UTN) Party calling for a reshuffle within the coalition party's ministerial quota.
The PM insisted it was an internal matter within the UTN that needed to be settled internally first.
“Yes, I have received it [the UTN letter]. And that is their internal matter which they have to settle themselves. It has nothing to do with us,” said Ms Paetongtarn.
Spearheaded by deputy leader Suchart Chomklin and submitted to the PM on Monday, the letter also criticised the UTN for failing to identify suitable replacements for all UTN cabinet members to enhance effective governance and crisis management.
