MEMBERS of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration’s (CCSA) smaller committee revealed this afternoon (July 21) that an ad hoc committee enforcing measures against Covid-19 had concluded that the emergency decree should be extended by another month, INN News reported. This decision of the ad hoc committee, headed by Gen.

The Prime Minister also does not see any problems within Palang Pracharath Party, saying he had talked to Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, the deputy prime minister and head of this party, and could confirm there were no issues about quotas of Cabinet seats with he himself allocating them as he saw fit.
