Acting Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan during an inspection tour in Krabi on Monday.

Acting Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan on Monday dismissed speculation of a possible Cabinet reshuffle.

 

“I am just a caretaker prime minister. I cannot reshuffle the Cabinet,” said Prawit when asked by reporters to comment on speculation that he might reshuffle the Cabinet.

 

He said any decision on a Cabinet reshuffle should rest with Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, who has been suspended from performing his prime ministerial duty.

 

“Wait for the decision (by the Constitutional Court). If he continues in his office, the prime minister will take care of that,” he said during an inspection tour in Krabi province in southern Thailand.

Maybe legally in the capacity of caretaker PM he can't, but in the capacity of "puppet master" he does what he wants.
