Prayuth says transfers made for suitability of current situation: Army spokesman

BANGKOK: -- Coup leader Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha asked for public understanding for three transferred senior officials, saying they have done nothing wrong but their transfers were made for the sake of suitability under the current situation, Army deputy spokesman Col Winthai Suwaree said.

The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) Saturday ordered the removal of national police chief Adul Saengsingkaew, Department of Special Investigation director-general Tarit Pengdit, and Defence Ministry permanent secretary Nipat Thonglek from their positions. They will be transferred to the PM's Office.

Winthai quoted NCPO chief and Army chief Prayuth as saying the transfers did not lessen the honour of the officials and their agencies.

Prayuth will assign the most senior deputy Police chief to be the acting national police chief, the spokesman said.

"All will be done to create trust among members of the society. And [Prayuth] would like the people to have sympathy for the transferred and refrain from showing contempt and hatred towards them because they are not regarded as having committed wrongdoings," Winthai said.

"Please regard that their transfers have been made for the sake of suitability under the current situation. [Prayuth] would like all to provide cooperation to those who become acting holders of the positions."

So when Yingluck moves a insubordinate who is working against her, its cause for her to be dropped from office.. Its a crime.. Cannot happen..

Yet the Army gets in and almost the first thing they do is, exactly that, transfer to inactive posts anyone they dont like.

Hypocrisy much ??

Meaning Tarit being moved to an 'inactive' post is a reflection of his glaring incompetence and pro Thaksin bias.

And still the killing goes on, in the South!

But she promoted her brother-in-law to a higher position which the family benefited from, has the general promoted a relative to any of the vacant positions/

[Jawnie]

Oh, I get it: it was a breach of public morality and completely illegal for PM YL to transfer a government official but it's perfectly okay for the Army to transfer several of them. Of course, the difference is that two weeks ago Thailand had a constitution; now it doesn't. Okay, got it.

Did Yingluck forget to use the word 'suitability' in the court about the transfer? LOL

Allegiance to Thaksin and family is the apt word NOT suitability. Your sticky rice government come UNstuck- "accept it" Exactly the words of all your clan members when PTP were elected

Most of us on TVF did that, but the amnesty was the last straw..

you show a lack of understanding here.....the army have not "got in" they have been asked to do a job by a higher authority - they are doing that job -the rice farmers have been paid and the protests have stopped. As have the violent nightly attacks by your side. To stay in power after being elected undemocratically and self serve the interests of a wanted criminal is cause to be removed from office which is beyond hypocrisy.

More proof that red shirt posters are only interested in their own ends and NOT Thailands!!

Yingluck moved that official so her relative could get a higher post

NEPOTISM is illegal

Tarit & Abdul are incompetent and couldn't find a M16 or grenade launcher if they stepped on one.

That's why they are being removed

He promoted the highest ranking deputies. He did not install his team.

The amnesty was for Thaksins benefit---we all know that so why the dung talk.???

And the law changes in 07 were to backdate and clear the coup makers of crimes committed against the 97 constitution.

What was different ?? Its OK to clear unelected yellow generals, but not Red ex prime ministers who keep winning the popular vote ??

Compared the images of the 06 coup announcement with the 14 one ?? Notice the glaring difference ??

[LivinLOS]

LEGALLY you are totally wrong!! BUT ~ LET ME ASK YOU.........Nightly attacks on and murder of 28 men women and children with more planned this weekend is not law either. Do you support the killings of innocent unarmed people by red shirts?

And the Killings beatings and stabbings by PDRC guards didnt happen I guess ??

I take your point, BUT madam Queen Victoria in not on the throne now---Hadn't you noticed ???...and Churchill is long gone.

Yellows are LONG GONE...update your brain, think about the situ now, would you still prefer your PTP to running the country down ???? regime/illegal run government, after being democratically elected.

Who is an ex PM that is winning the vote ??? you mean the party that were kicked out was it 3 times in a row ??? He certainly would not win the next election if he were put up for PM SURE.

KILLINGS by PDRC guards - please provide a link. yes there were some people beaten but after nightly attacks for 7 months I find this not surprising AND also a very restrained response!! More red shirt distortion of the facts!! Like the attacks on Ramkamhaeng students and they subsequent killings!!

Queen Victoria is dead. any answer on the Mega achievements in the last 3 years from the PTP---any answer on the Free Thaksin amnesty ??? Mr wind up.

[chainarong]

Unfortunately , it takes one man to assess the situation ,General Praythup (with help from some others) Tarit and company have no position of standing in the new Thailand, the silly nonsense of DSI Tarit strutting he's stuff as if he was the supreme honcho to end all honcho's was enough to start thinking of a coup ,along .with a poor performance from the police chief, who couldn't solve a problem if he fell over it and after Marshal law , we ended up with weapons being found right across Thailand and the police didn't have a glue , like hell they didn't , makes a hard case for these sort of people to continue in their selected careers.

Yet you dont explain why the hypocrisy is ok ?? You only say it 'is' rather than why..

Would I prefer the PTP running the country, than what ?? an unelected military junta clamping down on press freedom.. Yes probably.. I would take an elected civilian government I think, expecially when I know in another year or so there is another election and when they have shown their failings the people get another chance to choose alternatives, if they prefer them.

What I really would like is for the Thai people to be allowed to decide, in a 1 man 1 vote contest, which of these awful corrupt parties and which awful corrupt leader they wish to run the country. Then when this is done, for the other side to let them run it, for good or ill, for the next 4 years. Both sides are riddled with scandal and self interest, its about which bad group does the most for the largest section of society.

I wouldnt vote PTP if I had a vote.. But I respect the democratic system enough that I will live with whichever party the largest group of voters chooses.

[LivinLOS]

Only difference is the red REMOVE the checks and balances, while the Democrats and Army place them there so the country cant get raped like Taksin did before. Quite different.

What you mean like Sutheps palm oil scandal ?? I mean thats ancient history being.. ohh 2011... Like, back when the Dems had some power..

Every sniff at the trough hes been at it.. The only reason its less known is they cant win an election to keep their noses in there.

You have got to love it, all the reds on TV trying to defend themselves and their god Thaksin by wallowing in pigs waste. Nibbling at every post and bickering like schoolchildren trying to turn the whole affair into a crime against humanity, an Armageddon; prepare, prepare, the end of the world is coming. What a bunch of drama queens with substandard intellect, whining and cowering behind a pseudonym. Time to move on, your time is up. Anybody who has lived in or have had a long association with Thailand knows very well that this 'coup' is the best thing since canned beer and sliced bread. Thaksin is a western puppet and has been taking the country down the road of no return and this has stopped it. You have the western counties led by the Mickey Mouse outfit called America trying it’s all to discredit the military with outlandish untruthful claims in attempt to regain their hold on the country. Even stooping to schoolyard bullying by ceases military exercises, and throwing threats around left, right and centre. Just shows you how warped that country is. Good move General and good luck, I am looking forward to spending the rest of my years in the country I love knowing all will be well.

[LivinLOS]

I will ask you as I have asked near all the Pro gov red posters----Please reply, give me PTP mega achievements over the 3 years, if you cannot do this It tells me for sure why you are posting here. Reason being if they were never at fault and did a first class job--why is there problems in Thailand ??

You mean like

30 baht healthcare.

Raised minimum wages.

Million baht per village fund.

Massive infrastructure investment (roads electricity etc).

OTOP for a national market for rural goods.

1st car tax relief / kickback program

Farm subsidies.

Now this being Thailand, many of these were corrupt and badly administered.. But every one of these are ways of helping the poorest in society.

What have the Dems done ?? Apart from try to stop every one of these policies !! Why cant the dems do some good for the rural poor ?? Why do they have to fight tooth and nail to keep budgets to the middle class urban centers and not uplift the lowest in society.

I await you list from the Dems.

Hardly.. Its not a debate, or a discussion.. Brings no data or facts to the table.. Its just the usual bile spewing without any intellectual substance.

Some people need to do some basic logic and debating 101 to see how to raise a point, defend an argument, present facts and data to show their position is informed and correct, and finally draw a supported conclusion from those established facts.

Instead we get that.
