Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has assumed direct oversight of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), replacing his deputy Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn.
The move follows cabinet acknowledgement of two orders removing Mr Phiphat, who also serves as the transport minister, from supervision of the Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EECO) and from the chairmanship of the EEC Policy Committee. Media reports say the decision stemmed from discussions between Mr Anutin and Mr Phiphat last week.
