Lt-General Prawut Thawornsiri Monday said Chitpas “Tan” Kridakorn’s application to join the division, also known as 191, was being considered by the bureau and had not yet been forwarded to national police headquarters for approval.
He said anyone qualified for the post would be accepted in accordance with law.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan denied that Chitpas applied for the job because she had a close connection with him.
“I have no link [with her]. It is up to the police [to decide] what kind of personnel they want. Everyone has the right to apply for police posts,’’ he said.
