4 Sept Khaosod

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul addressed queries on whether Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas had requested a deputy finance minister, saying the ministry is functioning well without one. While there is no deputy minister in place, capable and skilled ministerial assistants—including those supporting Ekniti and Deputy Prime Minister Suphajee Suthammapanthong of Commerce—are handling their portfolios effectively. When asked whether any future deputy minister should come from within the governing coalition or be an outsider, or whether Ekniti should decide, Anutin replied that it would depend on circumstances.
