New government to be formed this month, promises Prayut

By The Nation

 

 

The new government will definitely be in place by the end of July, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Wednesday.

 

The PM said the schedule was still within the time frame under a "road map" set after the military coup of 2014.

 

"I affirm that a new government will be completely formed during July, definitely, in line with the road map," Prayut said.

 

He noted that under the Constitution, a government can start operating as soon as its members have taken an oath before His Majesty the King.

 

The PM's remarks came after criticism that disputes between coalition parties and factions within the leading coalition partner, Phalang Pracharat, are behind the PM’s failure to form a government in the three months since the March 24 general election.

 

He was speaking at Government House, where about 200 young Thais living in the US and their parents visited Prayut, accompanied by Mungkorn Pratoomkaew, the Thai consul general in Los Angeles.

 

The visit was part of a government programme, held annually for the 12th time this year, which brings young Thais living in the US back to Thailand to get familiarised with their home country.

 

Prayut told the group that Thailand had maintained good ties with the US ever since the two countries signed an amity treaty 286 years ago. 

 

He said that American companies had invested US$7 billion (Bt217 billion) in Thailand in businesses that hired more than 70,000 workers. The PM also noted that about 7,000 Thais are currently studying in the US and that about 500,000 Thai expats live in the US.

 

One woman among the visitors congratulated General Prayut for his return as prime minister. 

 

He jokingly replied: "Why didn't you ask me if I was happy about it?" before confirming that he was indeed happy to be able to serve Thailand.

Sorry Boss, but I will believe when I see.

 

The new government ( which will be more or less the same as the old government ) will be formed this month once the pecking order has been melted over everyone's ears and petulant members have either been bought to heal or put out to pasture.

So the scheming to rig the election actually started in 2014 just after the coup. Democracy never had a chance with this mother of all elections rigging. 

Well done Khun Prayut Chan O Cha, I, as most Thai's also are glad that you are the new and officially elected Prime Minister of Thailand.

he was elected on 24.5 and approved by the king the following day. Delaying formation of the government is just taking a p.ss from everybody around.

In normal political climate of parliamentary democracy it takes just a few days, even if large coalition involved.

clearly, nothing was prepared beforehand, as it should be, so now it's pure improvisation and playing on time, to tire off internal and external opposition.

there is no road map.

 

the majority of emigrants do hate junta, which was seen during march elections at consulates. Thai living abroad do understand, that full democracy is the only way forward. Only one of 200 congratulated him on premiership

sorry, it's my new windows 10.  lol

Thinking about Paul Simon’s 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, maybe there are “44” ways to form your government.
