Govt to respond to PAD on TV every night

Speaking during his Talk Samak Style programme on NBT Channel, Samak said it would not be enough for his government to wait to respond to the PAD once a week because the PAD attacked the government everyday on around-the-clock basis.

"First, I see that it will be all right to do it once every seven days. But not it has to be changed. We'll have to respond to them everyday as they are getting nastier," Samak said.

"They accused the government of struggling to amend the charter for our interest but this constitution is a trap. I am confident that I will be able to lead this ship through the problems. From now on, I'll respond to them everyday from tomorrow [Tuesday].  There were bill someone to go on air at 10 pm for one hour everyday to respond to them."

Government Spokesman Wichianchote Sukchoterat said the programme would be moderated by the four government spokesman.

He said the programme was aimed to provide the government's side information over the allegations made by the PAD.

He said the prime minister or Cabinet members of permanent officials, who were attacked, would be invited to give explanations during the programme.

He the spokesmen team would decide every morning on which issue the government would respond to the PAD.

He said the title of the programme would be decided Tuesday.

Deputy Government Spokesman Natthawut Saikua said Samak and the spokesmen team discussed the issue last week and agreed to launch the programme to respond to the opponents.
