"Lisa" clarified before the situation got out of hand, stressing that it was only a part of a special interview. This came after the government suppressed news about MPs' patronage and responded without reading the content, which discussed the political situation from the past to the present.
At 10:00 a.m. on 16 June 2026 GMT+7. Ms. Pakamon Noon-anant, a party-list Member of Parliament (MP) and spokesperson for the Prachachon Party (PPC). She posted on Facebook, stating she felt the need to clarify to prevent further confusion. The easy-to-spread and easily suppressed news titled “Lisa exposes MPs' patronage” originated from her interview on page 3 of Thairath.
The interview lasted over an hour, covering current politics. She was asked about whether MPs receive monthly payments or cross-party payments in their duties. She confirmed such payments exist and mentioned specific amounts. During the Move Forward Party transition, she was approached herself. Of course, there is no concrete evidence for this, but as political observers and political journalists, newspaper editors know such matters have always existed. This topic was only a small part of the entire one-hour interview. However, many online media outlets extracted and presented it as a standalone issue.
"My exposé followed a cycle where the question was thrown to the government side, which responded without reading the full content. This led to the issue being taken out of context, cutting and interpreting just one part of the special interview in an exaggerated manner. I reaffirm that this was only part of a discussion about the political situation from past to present in the special interview. That concludes my statement."
