BANGKOK, 27 Nov 2013 The Local Administration Department has stated that it has not issued any permission for governmental officials to stay absence from work due to political rallies.
Local Administration Department director-general Siripong Hantrakul stated that the department has not yet issued an announcement allowing government workers to be absent from work.
The denial came after the People’s Army Against Thaksin Regime has seized and barred access into the Interior Ministry.
He said all officials and employees still have to come to the office. And if they arrive at the ministry to find that it is still closed off by protesters, Mr. Siripong stated, the officials are then allowed to return home. Mr. Siripong stressed that the power to allow officials to stop working without taking leave lies only with the government.
