While they may have needed time to adjust to the new roles, they are experienced and professional administrators who are comfortable with their roles. Once assigned, they are able to perform their duties promptly.

"We can stay in touch from anywhere in the world. Ms. Supachai is currently in America. Yesterday, she sat in on a meeting about the Rice Policy Committee from LA at 2 a.m., which is 2 a.m. from there. She was able to meet without any problems."

Mr. Anutin also stated that he saw their dedication and commitment to the work, the results, and the speed with which they worked. He added that both parties kept their word, and that they would produce the best possible work. He assured them that he would not interfere and that they would be given complete freedom to work, and that he would support and encourage them. He added that the results were all positive for the country.

As for the Bhumjaithai Party having three candidates Mr. Anutin said that as the party grows in size and improves, he wants more people to help with the work. He will present the names of both individuals to the party's meeting, and there is a possibility of including both individuals in the party-list MP list.

Mr. Anutin stated that having talented and virtuous people working for the country should contribute to the betterment of the country, the well-being of the people, and the economic prosperity of the country. This is because they have people who understand and have experience in the job. He added that he cannot be too greedy about power. He added that this doesn't just refer to these two ministers, but rather to nearly every minister who works hard, including the Minister of Public Health, the Minister of Culture, the Minister of Labor, and the Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives. He added that each minister selected is not from a large or small family, but rather from a group of people who perform well and are capable of pushing the envelope quickly.

As for Mr. Varawut Silpa-archa, leader of the Chartthaipattana Party, and Mr. Sonthaya Khunpluem, a leader of the Chonburi big house, will they also join the Bhumjaithai Party? Mr. Anutin said to wait and see the party meeting this Sunday.

Mr. Anutin reiterated, "We're ready for the election now, as I've said since leaving the previous government. I can confirm that there's nothing exciting going on between now and the election. It's a normal process. The politicians we're working with are familiar faces, well-known, and able to work together. We've selected those with experience and who can serve the people."
