Prawit tells ministers to go on front foot to counter false information

After Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting, Government Spokesman Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd said that Prawit, who chaired the meeting, had ordered ministers to work in accordance with Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha’s instructions and as they had pledged to the PM.
“There has been mudslinging, distortion and distribution of false information to discredit government officials. We admit that some [things that are said] are true, but others are not,” Sansern said.
The deputy PM also told ministers to explain and update their work to the public, he added.
