halloween Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Will they now declare their assets? With or without billions in "honest mistakes" and shareholdings by domestic staff? If necessary they could have family members lie about ownership in court, assuming the perjury rules of the last government still apply.

Actually more to the point would be the question "how many of these cabinet members are currently NLA MPs ?" Note that NLA MPs will report their assets to the NAAC if I remember correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MobileContent Posted August 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Got to be honest: I like the following persons: Don Pramudwinai - A very good diplomat Suthi Makbun - Former Governor of Ubon and Korat Krissanapong Kiratikorn - Not that bad Rachata Rachatanavin - I would have liked him in the Education Ministry but lets see what he can do at Pubic Health. Veera Rojpojanarat - Culture Ministry and possible on the clampdown Pichet Durongkaveroj - Not so badSommai Phasi - Not so badNarongchai Akrasanee - Excellent as I know and worked with him with Brooker GroupApiradi Tantraporn - Good choiceChakkamon Phasukvanich - I know him from Indorama and he is a good choice Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul - Surprise but another excellent choice - Would have liked her in the Industry Ministry and no Tourism Ministry but time will tell Pornchai Rujiprapa - Another good move Peetipong Phuengbun na Ayutthaya - Another good move OK, looking at the generals I am not a fan of them but looking at all the deputies that have been appointed even if they are yellow/red they are all some of the best persons any cabinet can have. My guess is that all those deputies will be one day become the Ministers when the army pulls out and possible call election in 2016/2017. Yes I know in 2015 but I don't believe it. The cabinet is not that bad and I know several of those deputies. Surely if you keep the army out those deputies are clean. I think Prayuth is serious of changing the country. Even the democrats can't come up with this kind of cabinet. PS: The deuputies are very loaded but they earned their money. That some of those deputies have billions don't surprise me but I want to know what the generals and their wifes, children hold. Once again not a bad cabinet.

A very interesting question that no one seems to be bring up in the news. Probably because all are used to have generals and admirals as MP and/or PM and Cabinet Minister? Even lower ranking police officers seemed to like to use their former/current rank while being Dept. PM or so. BTW are all generals and admirals mentioned in actual service or just recalled for the duration plus a few months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fab4 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 At least prayuth didn't nominate himself as Defence Minister, just his old mate and mentor of The Eastern Tigers, retired General Prawit Wongsuwan to keep the troops in check. Though he did miss a trick, a man with these skills would have been a shoe in as Finance Minister The Nation October 5, 2012 Former defence minister General Prawit Wongsuwan announced assets worth Bt79.063 million, recording a sharp increase from the Bt9.39 million he declared a year ago. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/Korn-declared-richest-Democrat-while-Sutheps-debts-30191739.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
