Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has ordered the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to explain why its chairman continues to convene board meetings despite a court ruling concerning his eligibility to hold office.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has ordered the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to explain the ongoing issuance of meeting notices for board meetings despite a court ruling regarding the chairman's eligibility to hold office. The ruling, issued by the Central Administrative Court on September 25, dismissed Dr Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck's lawsuit challenging his qualifications for the position, as well as his claim that he had relinquished his right to assume office.
Despite this, the NBTC continued to issue meeting notices for the chairman's direction on October 1 and 2. Prime Minister Anutin exercised his authority under Section 76 of the NBTC Act to seek clarification from the NBTC secretary-general regarding the continuation of these meetings, while declining to comment on the appropriateness of the NBTC's actions.
