Pheu Thai Party’s proposed Cabinet line-up has undergone a last-minute change, which sees former trade representative and seasoned politician Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara tipped as foreign minister in the Srettha government, according to party sources.

 

The sources say that Parnpree will double as deputy prime minister in charge of economic affairs.

 

Parnpree, an advisor on economic affairs for Pheu Thai, had been a favourite for the foreign affairs portfolio from the beginning, until the name of Chiang Mai MP Julapun Amornvivat was suggested.  The sources say, however, that the party finally chose Parnpree as a result of last-minute horse-trading.

Can't they create lots more cabinet posts so more noses can get into the trough?

[grandpa]

Good to see they have got a Police General in charge of education. That should sort the shambolic education system out!

Good thinking

Keep his toxicity within Thai Borders,

Hes less likely to do any damage to International relations

• Pol Col Thawee Sodsong will be justice minister. There will be justice from a Police Officer, expect brown envelops.

• Thamanat Prompao will be agriculture and agricultural cooperatives minister. Let's grow those poppy fields!

• Pol Gen Permpoon Chidchob will be education nothing-ever-changes minister. 

• Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn will be labour minister. Finally the right man for the job, having labored like a slave as the tourism minister before.

Pol Gen Patcharawat Wongsuwan will also be natural resources and environment minister. His job is to protect The Toad and his watches at all costs.

Anutin Charnvirakul will also be interior minister. He took a look at the exterior and did not like it.

Wonder what crop the agricultural ministry will be pushing?

There are some truly disgusting names on that list, and far too many high-ranking police officers.

You get PT leading the show, along with a lot of other old-line establishment parties. What else was to be expected?

 

Including a convicted criminal among the lot...

Oh Good, a Heroin Dealer in charge of the growing of plants, purchasing, marketing, and selling them.

Sure. I didn't mean to say that it was unexpected, but it's saddening and disappointing nonetheless.

Cast of "The Sopranos"?

Surprises me that the 36 cabinet positions from 6 parties were finalized in just 4 days. The speculation of prolonged negotiation for positions among the 6 parties didn’t occurred. In comparison with Prayut’s cabinet from the coalition of parties coerced together by the junta took 6 days from day Prayut got his royal command. I hope it will mean a willingness to work together for the nation and a new political future with less chaos and colour division. ????

A lecturer at Chuka uploaded a post showing Pheu Thai criticising Prayuth's government for appointing Thammanat Prompao, to the Cabinet.

Then, hey! Pheu Thai do the same thing!

Pass the sick bag, Alice.
