Prime Minister Prayut Chanocha has ordered that the "Thailand Moving Forward" show broadcast daily at 6pm on all channels be extended from 15 minutes to half an hour as of Monday.
He explained that the broadcast time had to be extended because 15 minutes was not long enough for him and his deputies to deliver important messages to the public.
He said the program would focus on security every Monday, updates on Cabinet meetings on Tuesdays, economy on Wednesdays, social issues on Thursday, “returning happiness to people” on Fridays, foreign affairs on Saturdays and the legal and justice system on Sundays.
“I apologise for using up viewers’ time, but will shorten my address on days that have sports broadcasts. The broadcast schedule is being adjusted so I’m the only speaker on Fridays. Addresses by deputy prime ministers and ministers will air at 6pm on other weekdays and would be no longer than half an hour. I ask you for your time accordingly,” Prayut said.
