Settha Taweesin, an executive of Sansiri, a major land developing firm, has come out to admit that he took part in the meeting with the PM but it was with a few other businesspeople as well.
Yingluck also repudiated an accusation made against her by Akeyuth Anchanbutr, a prominent businessman and political whistleblower, of having committed improper conduct at the hotel, as simply groundless.
The premier reiterated that she is not involved in any type of conflict of interest and that there are more pressing issues which need to be addressed by the government.
