webfact Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 PM assures no conflict within Cabinet BANGKOK, 31 August 2016 (NNT) – The Prime Minister has confirmed there is no conflict among members of the Cabinet, and denied rumors of a Cabinet reshuffle. The Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has denied rumors of conflict between the Deputy Prime Minister for economic affairs Somkid Jatusripitak and Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Gen Chatchai Sarikulya. Gen Prayut has said that all ministers will continue working in their current posts and that no additional deputy ministers will be assigned at this time. The Prime Minister also assured that despite his authority to unilaterally assign deputy ministers, this matter requires discussion with related sectors. Regarding the new vacancy for Adviser to the Ministry of Defense, Gen Prayut has said the additional position is not meant to resolve any issues related to appointment or promotion, but can be seen as a reward for a life of dedication to the country. The Prime Minister has also stressed that this year’s military reassignments, which include the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army, was deliberated by himself, the Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan, and military leaders. He affirmed that the process was free of outside influence, especially those of Privy Council President Gen Prem Tinsulanonda, who is highly respected by the military, but is not involved in these matters. -- nnt 2016-08-31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbthailand Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The news media continues dutifully to pretend that the "Cabinet" is a Cabinet, that the "NLA" is a legislative assembly, and that the "PM" is a prime minister.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning this position is not necessary or vital for the country, instead it's another burden on tax payers. If you wanna reward an official, give him medal - where is your military spirit, if you ever had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I seem to recall he also promised there would be no coup, just before the coup. He has the credibility & honesty of a certain carrot topped US Presidential candidate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xineohp Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 His first act in any reshuffle should be to dump the DPMs. They are nothing but a monumental embarrassment to his regime. Given that they are former military buddies one suspects he does not possess the required male anatomy to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Loh Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It really doesn't matter how many times the PM re-shuffle the cabinet. There simply are not enough talent and competency in the military to fill the roles. After all, they are soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

performance Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 5 Rivers all milking the lake. None of them has been able to even write a road map. Let alone navigate it. I would say tensions are high. No one wants Prayut in poser. Those polls please we all know the truth. People never stood a hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Many comments demonstrate the delusion that those they presume elected under conditions of ultimate democratic ethic ( whatever they might fantasize that is ) will dutifully fulfill promises, never change mind, never tell a lie. So if Prayut denies he has intention to do so not remove the possibility that it may be something that happens. To refute claim, to deny, to insist not, to have no intent, all have connotations that for reasons unknown can either innocently or deliberately obfuscate comprehension. The result only permits conjecture of a statement rather than anything defined and accurate. A political strategy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
