BANGKOK — 6 July 2026, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul say poor public communication is partly to blame and warning ministers who fail to make their work visible that they could lose their Cabinet posts.
Speaking at Government House on 6 July, Anutin revealed he had called a meeting with Cabinet ministers and warned that those who remain largely invisible to the public risk being dropped.
“If you’re a minister the world forgets, the prime minister may forget you too. And if I forget you, there’s no need for you to remain in the Cabinet,” he said.
Anutin said he had already begun warning some ministers about their public profile two weeks ago and would raise the issue again in light of the latest poll.
He stressed that while ministers were working hard, they also needed to explain their work to the public.
“You can’t just work well without communicating. A minister must both deliver results and explain them,” he said.
Asked how long he would take to assess the performance of his Cabinet, which has been in office for about two months, Anutin replied that it would not take long and said future Cabinet reshuffle decisions would be based on performance, ability and dedication.
