PRIME MINISTER PRAYUT Chan-o-cha today (Dec.20) categorically denied he had earlier joined some 40 current and former MPs for dinner talk on his own design to prolong his rule beyond the next general election.

 

Despite news reports and pictures showing himself during dinner with those current and former MPs at a restaurant in Soi Ari area of Bangkok on Dec. 8, Prayut told reporters at Government House in his usually irritable tone that he never did so anywhere.

 

Prayut has been invariably known to literally keep his distance from politicians except for members of his cabinet and refrained from saying anything political though he has been already allowed by court to prolong his rule for two more years after the next general election.

The mark of a true despot is lying in the face of indisputable evidence.
