The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha admitted yesterday that he might have made a mistake in getting Senate Secretariat's legal adviser Nat Phasuk to take up the post of House of Representatives' secretary general on Saturday.

Prayut, in his capacity as National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) leader, cancelled the appointment on Sunday. The PM sacked Jare Phanpluang on Saturday under absolute powers granted to him by the interim charter's Article 44. Prayut then announced that Nat would replace Jare.

The PM revealed that he cancelled Nat's appointment after learning that the legal adviser was already nominated for the post of House deputy secretary general. Hence, giving him the higher position would not be possible.

Prayut also explained that he had chosen to remove Jare over efficiency issues, adding that he wanted to see the construction of the new parliament complex speeded up, but had been told that it was stuck. He added that another reason for him sacking people was corruption, but he can't say this in Jare's case because it was still being investigated. Jare has been accused of being ineffective in handling corruption allegations at the House Secretariat.

The premier said the use of Article 44 was necessary in this case because it could not be solved under ordinary law, adding that he would use the Article again n order to clear obstacles.

So do I get this PM got Jare a a job, next day sacked him from this job because he was nominated foe deputy of that job

And on top of that there are issues with Jare's efficiency. The ineffective in handling of corruption allegations

So the PM has not been doing his homework

There's only been one mistake

How can one man hold all power

Who overseas his mistakes ?

This is why countries have democracy

A good start. One mistake admitted to. How many more mistakes to go??

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken about that too!

Unless I am mistaken, apart from everything else Yingluck has been accused of, didn’t she get charged with Abuse of Power over a similar issue of moving state officials around?

Aah, Article 44 – the Swiss Army Knife of the junta!

Finger off the pulse!

There's only been one mistake

The coup?

I think Ret Commander in Chief , Prime Minister Prayut - O the only mistake so far is taking on a Coup , nothing has been gained and still the divide in Thailand remains ,there is not much to be said for failure.

If Thaksin were such a dictator. He should have gotten rid of this Prayut loser a long time ago.

There's only been one mistake

No there has been many mistakes. he is a great general but a bad politician
