webfact Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Prayut to supervise police, citing concerns over Prawit’s health By The Nation Citing concern for the health of General Prawit, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has announced that he will supervise the Royal Thai Police and chair the Police Commission himself. Prayut was speaking to reporters after he officially took office as the concurrent defence minister by entering his office at the Defence Ministry. Prayut said he would supervise the national police force and head the Police Commission in lieu of his deputy, General Prawit Wongsuwan, because he has concerns over Prawit’s health. “I have concern for Prawit’s health. He has a very high level of determination for his other responsibilities,” Prayut said. He said Prawit has several other responsibilities, including national intelligence and the supervision of the National Security Council. Prayut said he would screen promotions of both senior military and police officers that were nominated by their agencies, in order to ensure suitability. The prime minister said it was not certain whether he would also supervise the Department of Special Investigation, but he would make sure that all important tasks related to the DSI would get done. Prayut added that the DSI would also need to be reformed, as the agency may have too many police officers working for it. Regarding the military budget, Prayut said the military agencies may not get all of what they wanted because the government has limited money. But he insisted that the much-criticised procurement of submarines would not be cancelled. “The purchase must be made properly. There must be a committee to check it and make it transparent – and the issue is over,” Prayut said.

Popular Post colinneil Posted July 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2019 Well if the old goat is in ill health, why on earth was he ever made deputy PM? should have been put out to grass ages ago. Or is this another dastardly scheme by Prayut to control everything himself? 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post z42 Posted July 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2019 The Thais i know are constantly sharing memes showing Prawit sleeping while supposedly being on duty in his official capacities. He is influential sure, but a relic who does not merit a place in a supposedly democratic administration in any capacity. As for Prayuth overseeing Police affairs, the fox guarding the henhouse scenario springs instantly to mind. And as for the brushing off of Submarine purchasing, the opposition will hopefully have some serious opposition that can't be so readily dismissed out of hand. I hope to see a lot of egg on a lot of faces very soon 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MobileContent Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The police department has a lot of money to be made specially in terms of promotions. I just wonder why he didnt offered the cabinet post to someone else from the 10+ parties that joggled around for positions in the cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadbury Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Don't be unkind to the PM's old mate. What better reason than to buy him a new VIP jet to fly him around the world to get the best medical treatment available. Gone are the days of those 38 member piss up party fact finding missions like the ones he organised to go to the beaches of Hawaii in a chartered jet in 2016.

Number 6 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'm glad the coup is past us and democracy is in the hands of the people. Decisions shared and transparent. Thailand the hub of democracy. I'm expecting a movie about his life staring Steven Siegal any day now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
