He believes all ministers are ready to explain everything the opposition asks. For him, there is nothing to worry about because his work has been straightforward and he is ready to clarify everything.
A reporter asked if he has anticipated which issues the opposition will raise during the debate. Worasit said he has prepared for everything, especially the issue currently in the public eye—the corruption in local civil service exam admissions—and he is not concerned about it. When asked if he is worried about a cabinet reshuffle after the no-confidence debate, Worasit replied, he personally is not concerned about whether he remains a minister or not, because he can work effectively wherever he is. He can work as an MP or, if not an MP, in other capacities. If he becomes a minister, he can work in that role too. He is not worried about it.
Regarding the controversy over images showing a minister welcoming Mr. Newin Chidchob, chairman of Buriram United Football Club, during a football match in Songkhla Province on Sunday (18 October), Worasit explained it was related to football activities, as he also manages a football team in Satun Province, and is unrelated to politics.
