DPM Wissanu confirms Prayut’s government remains in full control

 

 

Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam assures that the government of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is not a caretaker government, but a government with full power to take decisions of national importance until a new government comes into the office.

 

His defence of the legitimacy of General Prayut’s government, citing a provisional clause in the existing Constitution, was in response to an argument by Future Forward secretary-general Piyabutr Saengkanokkul that, since General Prayut was appointed post-election prime minister by Royal Command, he is no longer the junta-appointed prime minister and, hence, his cabinet was automatically disbanded.

 

Dr. Wissanu maintained that the government has full authority, although the number of cabinet ministers has dropped to 17-18 and General Prayut still remains the Prime Minister, adding that the cabinet still has to meet because there are many issues related to international affairs which need to be considered and approved.

caretaker government definition: a government that has power for a short period of time until a new one is chosen.

 

Same, same, but no different !

I wonder where this dear little chap will fit in to the new order of things - after all he is not an MP is he?

 

I'm sure that he will still be in place though, to explain things to us so clearly; sort of comforting to know that nothing much will change!????

This guy has reached a maximum severe annoying level almost same as the guy he is protecting. But did we really expect anything different for the response to the accusation coming out from FFP about the legitimacy of fat head to have the reigns in his hands until the new house opens up.

Every time I see Wissanu's photo I'm taken back to my childhood watching Sleestacks in The Land Of The Lost.

You are right, Holy Cow CM: they can just conjure up, out of thin air, any law, clause, paragraph or interpretation that they choose. It does not matter whether it really exists or not. The mere stating of it becomes (in their minds) Reality.

And there is almost nothing the Thai people can effectively do. I do not, however, think that injustice can rule and reign forever ... 

[30la]

As before, more than ever, the junta will be in power until the general considers it appropriate, no one has the power to eliminate the old and the new government!
Put your soul in peace and accept the inevitable!

Maybe not forever, but 87 years and counting...still going strong. Hell, I had a kid tell me the other day that it was difficult to single out one thing the new head honcho had did as being great, since he did so many great things for the country. ???? Nine years old - the future wailing song pra cha lern crowd

It's not really a government is it.

 

Call a spade a spade. It's a military hegemony.

So, it should be entertaining to see how this plays out after a new government is formed.
Then what?  Temper tantrums?  More cardboard cutouts in front of microphones? Slow motion train-wreak? Boxing match challenges?
It should be an amusing show - for we non-participants.  Probably not amusing at all for a certain segment of the actual stakeholders, particularly Thai young adults and Northerners.  But angst does something manifests as change.  Time will tell... In the meanwhile, pop the top on your favorite beverage, sit back, relax, and watch the show!

[yellowboat]

Would the junta's cheerleader or concubine say anything different ?   A man happy to use force against unarmed civilians retains control.  Such a captain obvious type statement might make one think control is being contested.

Yeah got that right too! Its always like, "OH No that is incorrect and it is not like that and is totally ok" because if you look at it this way citing article blah or blah blah or blah, this over rides that point and article and cannot be looked at any other way because we say so. But when they lash out it is like hell is freezing over being only one way as they get all the relevant departments to act instantly and almost simultaneously to rack their opponent up. On another point, Chuan Leekpai will do no sincere justice as the house head as he is one of the cronies and always has been in the elite status. His legacy sprouted just after that nasty little coup killing 50 civilian protestors by the now army commander and chief's father, and his administration is riddled with offenses as well. He married a Khunying (Elite) and has a common law wife now. Top it off, he is a lawyer by trade. Enough said.

Currently DPM for Legal Affairs. No reason why he wouldn't continue in the new government.

Otherwise, Prayut has used the Office of the Prime Minister for "parking positions" for untitled appointments - kind of like an inactive duty station but compensation and full benefits remain intact.

[yellowboat]

When listening to him and the rest of the junta clowns, they will expect the average Thai to drink this:

Ran off to Taiwan until the statute of limitations expired.

But that is ok because he stayed away till the statute of limitations ran out on his sentencing and probably became a monk or thought about becoming one, so he has uplifted and cleansed his corrupt little soul so his family has restored their face. 

 

Don't know if anything more to that story, but don't need to. Amazing Thailand!
