Anutin Emphasizes Following the Law Regarding Dr. Sorns Continued Attendance at NBTC Meetings

Prime Minister Anutin emphasizes adherence to the law regarding Dr. Sorn's continued participation in NBTC meetings, stressing that every step complies with legal requirements.


On 5 August 2026, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Chanvirakul spoke about the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) meeting, where Dr. Sorn Boonbaichayapruck, the NBTC chairman, insists on attending. He said the NBTC board meetings are the NBTC's affair, but he remains firm on following all legal procedures.

Asked whether he would wait for the Senate's approval first, the Prime Minister said he is following all legal procedures and has done nothing wrong.

When asked if he plans to submit the matter for royal endorsement after the committee's resolution that Dr. Sorn lacks qualifications to remain as NBTC chairman, the Prime Minister responded only that he will follow all legal steps.
