MFP chief Pita stresses substance over style for new Thai Cabinet

[snoop1130]

 

Pita Limjaroenrat, the leader of the Move Forward Party, shared his views on the newly formed Thai Cabinet, asserting that his judgment of individuals will be based on principles rather than appearances. He extended his well wishes to the new Cabinet, expressing hope that they would successfully fulfil the promises made during the election campaign. Pita noted that during the pre-election debate, all political parties had presented similar pledges.

 

The 42 year old politician underscored the importance of the government’s commitment to its digital footprint and the promises it made to the electorate during the election campaign. He emphasized that if the government pledged to reform the army, it should follow through, and if it promised improved transportation for all, it should deliver on that commitment.

 

Irrespective of his role, Pita affirmed his dedication to working to safeguard the interests of the public. He stated that he would continue his efforts, whether inside or outside of Parliament. Pita also stressed the importance of working collaboratively with those holding differing views to demonstrate that politics can be inclusive.

 

When questioned about the time the government should be given to prove its effectiveness before facing scrutiny, Pita referred to Natthawut Saikua, the former Secretary-General of the For Thais Party. Natthawut had previously remarked that there was no time for a honeymoon period as the public had been awaiting solutions to their difficulties for too long. Hence, the government must act swiftly.

You do not need much brains to be a Thai PM. Note the last unelected PM with only a Military Academy education, and he lasted nine years. This is Thailand.
