Acting Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan now has full decision-making powers on matters concerning budget and staff, under a ministerial edict approved by the cabinet today (Tuesday), said Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam.

 

Under the edict, Deputy Prime Ministers Jurin Laksanawisit, Anutin Charnvirakul, Don Pramudwinai and Supattanapong Punmeechaow, are authorised to act on behalf of the prime minister, but only Prawit, currently the acting prime minister, has power over budget and staff appointments.

 

Explaining the need to amend an old regulation with a new edict, while Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is currently suspended from active duty, Dr. Wissanu said that it would be very inconvenient for General Prawit to consult Prayut every time there are matters concerning such issues.
