Prayut to reshuffle Cabinet after 4 ministers quit ruling party

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.

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.

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.

Ministries should not be led by politicians, but by experts that had to qualify for their jobs.

Unfortunately, this is hardly happening in any country. The blind are leading the blind.

Yes, and the country should not be run by an unelected ex soldier.
