The Interior Minister expressed his heartfelt gratitude and regret over several top executives reaching their mandatory retirement age. Among those stepping down are the Director-General of the Department of Lands, the Director-General of the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning, a Deputy Permanent Secretary, and 13 provincial governors. Anutin urged these departing officials to take immense pride in their dedicated service to the nation and the public throughout their careers.
Furthermore, Anutin addressed perceptions surrounding the role of Ministry of Interior inspectors, firmly rejecting the traditional belief that the position serves as a stagnant dumping ground. He instructed all inspectors to report directly to him and urged them to treat the assignment as an opportunity for reflection and aggressive performance delivery rather than feeling sidelined.
