Campaign to raise questions over GPO chief's sacking
Play
A health advocacy group Monday kicked off its campaign to protest the sacking of the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO)'s chief Witit Artavatkun.
Deputy Public Health Minister Chonlanan Srikaew will Tuesday ask for Cabinet’s approval for the sacking of Witit. The move comes after Public Health Minister Pradith Sinthawanarong on Friday signed an official letter ordering Chonlanan to take up this issue for the consideration of Cabinet.
The advocacy group launched an online petition to collect the signatures and opinions from members of the public who oppose the decision made by GPO's executive board on Friday to fire managing director Witit Artavatkun due to his ‘negligence in not protecting the state drug maker.’
