snoop1130 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Prayut to reshuffle Cabinet after 4 ministers quit ruling party By The Nation Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said he will reshuffle the Cabinet, after his four economics ministers resigned from the ruling Palang Pracharat Party. His move came after four key members of Palang Pracharat quit the party on Thursday (July 9). Finance Minister Uttama Savanayana, Energy Minister Sonthirat Sonthijirawong, Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Minister Suwit Maesincee and Kobsak Pootrakool, deputy secretary-general to PM and secretary to Council of Economic Ministers, held a joint press conference to announce their resignations. Political observers say the move by the quartet, who are credited with running Thailand's economy, came after weeks of Palang Pracharat Party infighting between factions jostling for power. Responding to the resignations, Prayut said that he respected the decisions. “But I have to move the country forward and will talk with coalition parties about a Cabinet reshuffle,” he said. Prayut did not confirm a report that the Cabinet reshuffle would take place in September. He said the timing would depend on the political process which he would discuss with parties in the government coalition. He confirmed that the four ministers who quit the party were under his quota when he accepted the post of premier a year ago. Asked if the economic ministers would be reshuffled as well, Prayut said the whole Cabinet would be revamped. Those with the best performance could continue to work with him, he said. Asked if outsiders will be invited to participate, he said that he would consider all options. Prayut said the Council of Economic Ministers meeting on Friday (July 10) has been postponed so that he can meet with his team of economic advisers team instead tomorrow. He will then put their proposals to the Economic Ministers. The economic ministers were due on Friday to discuss the latest economic situation and measures to support small and medium-sized enterprises. On July 24, they were scheduled to discuss delays in tourism recovery and the virus outbreak’s impact on employment.

Denim Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Prayuth made them an offer they couldn't refuse. His close cronies will now all slide up a notch. And the Thai people ... well all this returned happiness is beginning to hurt. Well done Prayuth and Prawit , such great guys , especially Prawith who is kind of cute according to some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy cow cm Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Those 4 should be proud that they helped the regime take complete government control using them as a farce movement. I wonder how it smells on the way out passing through the regimes corn hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nikmar Posted July 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2020 Is anyone else getting a wee bit concerned about the way things are going here, I mean, taking into consideration the fact that Apirat retires from the army in September (?). or, am I worrying about nothing here. Serious question as Apirat getting anywhere near a Prime Minister's position will be the thing that makes me grab my son and leg it back home to the UK. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinn Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 11 hours ago, YetAnother said: just get prawit and anutin OUT Anutin win vote from people. Prawit not get any vote from people. Prayut same. parliamentarians should consider the fact that Prayut lacks a mandate from the people since he did not run for election. Also, he is the sole PM candidate nominated by Phalang Pracharat, which failed to win a majority of seats in the March election and thereby has little in the way of legitimacy to form a government. If he is elected today, Prayut’s administration will be one of the most unstable in recent history.

Exactly, the economy was not robust before the virus. The total fallout may yet to be seen. It is a good time to walk away from positions of authority where blame can be laid. Having a bunch of buffoons in military garb running the country is not going to help. They hate change and the government needs to get out of the way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
