Thai Govt Denies 'PM Meets People' Program is for Rating Boost

A Thai government spokesperson has strongly refuted opposition claims that the upcoming 'Cabinet Meets People' program is a tactic to boost declining popularity. The MP argued that the government has achieved a great deal across all ministries, with ministers working diligently and producing clear results. However, the promotion of these achievements has not sufficiently reached the public. Thus, the program is not about low ratings but serves as another channel to communicate with the media and public about the government's accomplishments. He further stated that if political confidence is falling, the opposition's confidence is also decreasing. Their tendency to oppose everything, even matters beneficial to the public, leads citizens to view politics negatively and become weary of political discourse. The opposition should focus on constructive scrutiny, offering solutions and beneficial policies rather than solely aiming for political change or toppling the government, as the public will ultimately be the judge. The MP also addressed criticisms that the Prime Minister does not prioritize parliamentary affairs or answer questions. He clarified that this is untrue, as the Prime Minister can delegate the response to questions to the relevant ministers who possess the most detailed knowledge of the issues and policies. The Prime Minister has instructed all ministers to prioritize answering parliamentary questions, and the current government places significant importance on parliamentary work, having responded to a substantial number of questions.
