webfact Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER SOMSAK Thepsuthin yesterday (Feb.16) downplayed criticism that Thailand might be virtually, simultaneously run by two prime ministers – the current Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin and former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Somsak confirmed Srettha who lawfully performs as head of government will not be overruled by anyone else but declined to confirm or deny whether Thaksin, the de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict, might probably put his hands on any government affairs or give out orders to any members of cabinet and other government officials, albeit in behind-the-scenes fashion, after he has been released on parole on the upcoming Sunday. The Pheu Thai-backed Srettha who had been quietly promoted to elected premiership by Thaksin’s sister/deposed prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra remained tight-lipped as to whether he might possibly be overshadowed by her brother on parole. The de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict who is largely expected to manipulate government affairs and take control of cabinet members, albeit in surreptitious, hush-hush fashion, since he allegedly already took part in the country’s power play literally from a private ward of Police Hospital shortly after he had returned from self-exile abroad last August.

Yes, Srettha will spend all his time flying around the world speaking polly-waffle. Best to keep him out of the country and let Dad groom his daughter.🙃🙃 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
