Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said Thursday that the cabinet reshuffle must be done as quickly as possible as the vacant posts need to be filled so that work can continue uninterrupted.

 

When asked whether the cabinet shakeup would be limited to just the three empty seats or whether there would be a broader reshuffle, he said that he was thinking about that as well.

 

Three cabinet seats are vacant after Education Minister Nataphol Teepsuwan, Digital Economy and Society Minister Buddhipongse Punnakanta and Deputy Transport Minister Thaworn Senneam were automatically stripped of their posts, in accordance with provisions of the Constitution, after they were convicted and sentenced to prison terms by the Criminal Court for their roles in the mass protests by the PDRC, held to oust the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra in 2014-15.

Any chance you and your henchmen could reshuffle yourself out of office and country?

It's interesting things have gotten this far. Will the General toss the yellows under the bus? The junta looks so bad on so many fronts could he be thinking this might polish his diminished image at small cost? The thought of Suthep behind bars for a couple/few years warms the heart.

I bet if he left it a year, no one would notice their absence.
