“I am an influential person”

- Chada Thaiset
Bhumjai Thai MP for Uthai Thani

Background: After a recent police raid, Chada Thaiset came out with a rare admission of being an influential person with ties to organized crime. As government coalition Member of Parliament, Chada secured a quota for a seat in the Prayuth cabinet. He gave it to his younger sister, who is set to become Deputy Minister of Agriculture.
