Anutin Responds to Leaked Audio Clip: "It's an Old Issue"

[webfact]

 

Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, acknowledged a leaked audio clip circulating in the media but downplayed its significance, stating it's an outdated issue.

 

The clip, which references the appointment of officials and a request for positions, was aired on the TV program "Jaorok Thua Thai" Inside Thailand.

 

On September 11, 2024, at the Parliament building, Anutin, who is also the leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, addressed the matter.

 

He explained that he received the clip but found the audio unclear during the meeting and needed a quieter environment to listen properly.

When asked about possible position trading, Anutin denied any such practices currently exist, stating that the clip is old and irrelevant to today's situation, reported Thai Rath.

 

He noted that while the issue might have been discussed in the past, it no longer holds significance.

 

Anutin refrained from speculating on whether the clip was released as part of a political vendetta, stating that it’s best to remain uninvolved if one has no direct connection.

 

He also indicated he may need to consult further before forming a complete opinion on the matter.

 

The clip allegedly discusses the Prime Minister's position and the resignation of a party leader.

So he couldn't hear the clip clearly but he knows its old and irrelevant?

 

Yeah, right.

I  know I have a checkered and questionable history. I allied myself with horrific and highly toxic juntas, in my thirst for power. I made all sorts of errors. But, don't hold me responsible. That was the distant past, and it is not fair to use my history against me. Please, try to forget.

This guy is corrupt as it gets!!  wonder what the status of the  land grab in the verdant expanses of Khao Kradong Forest Park located in Buri Ram

“This isn’t just about land,” Pattharpong remarked sternly. “It’s about the ethical backbone of our leadership. If those in power are shown to disrespect the boundaries of law and propriety, what hope do we have for genuine governance?”
