webfact Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 PM promises to name new finance minister in October By THE NATION Prayut Chan-o-cha Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Thursday (September 17) that he has allocated time next month to consider candidates for the finance minister's post. When asked if the candidates named in media recently had been chosen by him, the premier asked if he had not told the press earlier that all contenders were selected by him. Prayut said all the contenders were capable people and that a new minister will be named once he makes a decision and if they are willing to take the job. Finance permanent secretary Prasong Poontaneat is believed to be one of the leading candidates. He was apparently added to the list because he has experience in politics and also because the premier likes his style of working.

Looks like it will take a couple of weeks to find somebody stupid enough to do it, not ordinarily a problem but then again this is an absolutely ginockapod no win role, maybe it needs brown envelopes sent from general Pinocchio for a change... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter ,this guy has quite the habit of breaking his promises I suspect (no proof) the last guy (from K Bank) was warned off and quickly resigned. So is there a powerful 'force' afoot to ensure the right politically coloured man (or lady) gets the job? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaoleBoy Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 So worried about the anti-government protests yet can't do his own job (that he appointed himself to) and get a new Finance Minister. At least do something useful in this time and get the "Boss" / Justice ordeal cleaned up by putting the rightful people convicted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile the economy is slipping further down the crapper, and investment is at a virtual standstill. And the best tourism plan to save the economy is 300 visitors per month. Time he vacated his office if this is the best he can do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already it seems there's around 20 senior cops involved. Corruption has tentacles spreading everywhere, so what's the total number of senior and other cops and politicians and bureaucrats involved? Hundreds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
