PM to discuss possible cabinet shakeup with coalition parties

[webfact]

 

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin will hold talks with leaders of coalition parties to discuss a cabinet reshuffle, noting that it is necessary to make adjustments in line with the changing situation after about seven months in office and to make sure that the right people are in the right jobs.

 

The prime minister said that there is no fixed timeframe as towhen the cabinet reshuffle will take place, adding that all coalition parties will be consulted and treated with respect.

 

He also said that, at this stage, it remains unknown whether the shakeup will be limited or extensive, which depends on several factors, such as the performance of each minister overthe past 7-8 months and the opinions of the public.

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has refuted yesterday’s rumour of a cabinet shakeup after the Songkran break, claiming that it was pure speculation.

 

Asked by reporters today about a cabinet reshuffle on April 17, the prime minister retorted asking the media whether they were now speaking on behalf of the prime minister and whether their speculation is correct.

 

He said that the rumour had caused some ministers, whose names were mentioned in the reporting, discomfort and to call him, adding that he told them that there was to be no cabinet reshuffle as speculated.

must have been the Songkran water...

Thaksin spoke at the Chiang Mai dinner table

The flipflop cabinet.. Last week surely no reshuffle, this week a probably reshuffle, next a cabinetreshuffle.. Thaksin has had his meeting already with candidates, although Thaksin can't be in the cabinet yet, he is still the man in charge

[brianthainess]

I would say having a General as a Highways Director may need a bit of a 

re-shuffle, or a sidestep, or a re-Jig, ........

Minister of Public Health is toast, he shot himself in both feet. Clueless/tone-deaf on PM.25

 

Defense Minister is toast, military is running roughshod over him.

 

Finance Minister is "challenged", so he'll remain PM, but maybe take on Defense.

 

I think Thaklsin's hands will be all over this reshuffle.

Probably time, the cabinet isn't exactly inspiring confidence in the nation is it?

[Mavideol]

it's amazing what a dinner party in Chiang Mai can do  to a non-elected PM, some heads will roll 555

Shouldn't the headline be "Taksin told the PM "

My 3 predictions:

1)MFP will be dissolved in June/July, and sadly many of it's founding members will be exiled from politics for at least 10 years. Yes a new party will formed, and some members/MP's will cross over before the court ruling.

2) Yingluck is home by September (with an amnesty or K's pardon).

3)Sretta will resign by next April (citing fatigue) and T's daughter will slot in until the election.

 

Will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Luckily the Govt Agency I work for is not made up of political appointees and is immune from all the political shenanigans.

Your post script  sentence reveals a degree of naivety I think. Govt. Agencies are never immune to political whims ! If outside of influence then  eliminate  eliminate !

You have been a member for a few months and you're telling me about my Agency...so silly boy you are.

I have been with them since 1993...if you knew the Agency you would feel foolish about what you wrote.

Adjust your thinking pls.

Getting interesting, going to be watching to see if I can predict Thaksins next big con.

irrelevant, they could replace them all with cardboard  cut outs, probably get a better result
