New Cabinet list sent for royal endorsement

By The Nation

 

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Wednesday confirmed that the new Cabinet list had been forwarded for royal endorsement.

The PM on Friday had said he had finalised the fourth Cabinet reshuffle of his government and that the list was in the process of seeking royal endorsement. The matter was expected to be settled by next month, he had said.

 

On Tuesday, he was quoted as saying at the Cabinet meeting that the ministerial reshuffle was “nothing personal”, but all about work efficiency. Government Spokesperson Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd quoted the PM as saying that the reshuffle was to enable utmost efficiency of his Cabinet's performance.

 

The PM urged those losing out in the reshuffle not to feel any hurt because if that were the case, he would feel the most since he was the one who had to make the decisions on who should leave and who should stay, the spokesman added.

 

His ministers so far have no idea about the new list. Deputy PM Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Monday that he was not aware to what extent PM Prayut had reshuffled the Cabinet, adding that he wasn’t even aware if he would be in the new Cabinet.

 

Another deputy PM, General Prawit Wongsuwan, said yesterday that his decision to continue working in the Cabinet would be dependent on his health.

 

PM Prayut had said last Friday that his senior military senior classmates like Prawit and Interior Minister General Anupong Paochinda, as well as his close friend Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister General Chatchai Sarikulya, would remain in the Cabinet. He also said that the number of military officers exiting the Cabinet would be more than those being inducted.

PRIME MINISTER General Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday confirmed that the new Cabinet list had been forwarded for royal endorsement.

 

On Friday, the prime minister said he had finalised the fourth Cabinet reshuffle of his government and that the list was in the process of seeking royal endorsement. The matter was expected to be settled by next month, he had said. 

 

On Tuesday, he was quoted as saying at the Cabinet meeting that the ministerial reshuffle was “nothing personal”, but all about work efficiency.

 

Government Spokesperson Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd quoted Prayut as saying that the reshuffle was to enable utmost efficiency of his Cabinet’s performance. The PM urged those losing out in the reshuffle not to feel any hurt. If that were the case, he said, he would feel it the most since he was the one who had to make the decisions on who should leave and who should stay, the spokesman added. 

 

His ministers so far have no idea about the new list. Deputy prime minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Monday that he was not aware to what extent Prayut had reshuffled the Cabinet, adding that he wasn’t even aware if he would be in the new line-up.

 

Another deputy prime minister, General Prawit Wongsuwan, said yesterday that his decision to continue working in the Cabinet would be dependent on his health.

 

Prayut said last Friday that his senior military senior classmates such as Prawit and Interior Minister General Anupong Paochinda, as well as his close friend Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister General Chatchai Sarikulya, would remain in the Cabinet. He also said that the number of military officers exiting the Cabinet would be more than those being inducted.

 

A source said former Interior permanent secretary Krisda Boonrat would take the top post at the Agriculture Ministry, while former reformer Wiwat Salyakamthorn would be his deputy minister. Wiwat has long been known in his educational work for his adoption of HM the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s Self Sufficiency Theory. Chatchai, meanwhile, would be compensated with the deputy prime minister post, the source said.

Would have liked to have heard more about the efficient electric go-kart developed by students.  They seem to have a good sense of direction and are able to execute accordingly.  Hope it rubs of on the man behind the wheel. 

 

Given the lackluster performance of the junta, who would want to risk their reputation ?  Not sure who they will find.  As the announcement for the elections has not happened, it will sadly be a 2-5 year job or worse.  

 

 

Not so sure about the new Mario Kart cartoon character.

Very creative body but that appears to be more than science. Nothing new about being electric though:
