Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has signed a request for a royal order to remove National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) chairman Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck from his position, insisting the move is strictly in accordance with the law and due process.The request centres on Mr Sarana's alleged lack of the proper qualifications for the job.
Mr Anutin, also interior minister, said on Tuesday that he had signed and submitted the request for a royal command to dismiss Mr Sarana from both his position and membership of the NBTC.
He stressed that every step had been taken in accordance with the law and established procedures.
"I have signed it. I followed every step of the procedure. I did not do this with any ill intention. Everything was done according to procedure, based on opinions from within the government and from individuals," he said.
