Prayut clarifies planned amendments to charter draft

Prime Minister Prayut Chanocha Thursday clarified that advice to make changes to the charter draft, which passed a national referendum last August, had been passed down from His Majesty the King’s personal panel.

He explained further that he had received an official letter from the working group and it was not the direct advice from the King.
“Government works on our part.  And for the Royal institution, there is the personal working group,” the premier said. 
“They [the group] considered [the amendment] and proposed His Majesty and he passed it down. That’s all. And I proceed accordingly,” he said.
