His Majesty the King has officially released the list of ministers who have been dismissed and reappointed, including some who have resigned from their positions and moved to ministries. The summary is that the ministers of “Seththa 1/1″ have removed 4 people and reappointed 6. Every party has made adjustments except 3 parties: Bhumjaithai, Chart Thai Pattana and Prachachat. Since there has been no change, this government has 36 ministers according to the law because Pheu Thai and Palang Pracharat have appointed two remaining ministers.” Pheu Thai” has had the most changes since the Prime Minister was left with only one position. There was no merger of other ministries, eliminating the positions of two Deputy Prime Ministers: “Somsak Thepsuthin” who was transferred to be Minister of Public Health and “Panprie Phitthanukorn”, leaving only the position of Foreign Minister. There are four people who have resigned from their positions: Dr. Chonnan Srikaew, Minister of Public Health, Mrs. Puangpetch Chunlead, Minister attached to the Prime Minister’s Office, Mr. Chaiya Promma, Assistant Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Anucha Nakasai, Deputy Minister of Agriculture. (RTA) 6 new people, namely “Pichai Chunhavajira”, Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister (Pheu Thai), “Pichit Chuenban”, Minister attached to the Prime Minister’s Office (Pheu Thai), “Jiraporn Sinthuprai”, Minister attached to the Prime Minister’s Office. (Pheu Thai) “Phaopoom Rojanasakul” Assistant Finance Minister “Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn” Assistant Minister of Agriculture (PPRP) and “Suchat Chomklin” Assistant Minister of Commerce (RTA) In addition, “Suriya Juangroongruangkit” Minister of Transport and Deputy Prime Minister Ms. Sudawan Wangsuphakitkoson. Minister of Tourism and Sports Moved to be the Minister of Culture, alternating with “Sermsak Phongphanich”, “Jakkraphong Saengmanee”, Deputy Foreign Minister, moved to be a minister with a tight and stable office, namely “Suthin Khlangsaeng”, Minister of Defense and “Kriang Kalp” Tinan, Deputy Minister of Interior This latter person is said to have received support from “Jay Chiang Mai” is said to be overall an adjustment. The Cabinet this time did not adhere to the guidelines that the Prime Minister had said he wanted it to follow. “Getting the right side” because a multi-party coalition government like this would be difficult in the past during the “Thai Rak Thai” government or subsequent affiliated governments that were able to do this because they had a majority. No matter who you appoint or remove, you can do it without any problem. But this government has 6 parties supporting it, it must be said. It’s up to the party how to decide? What is clear is that Palang Pracharath, party leader Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, is the one who makes the decision. Or uniting Thailand to create a nation is no different. “Pheu Thai” even though it has changed many positions. Because it is a large party and the leader of the government, it must show its role to every party as an example, that is, there will be no divisions. There is no chaos and can be controlled. The important thing is that people with a lot of political influence have probably already managed it internally through the daughter of “Ung Ink”, the leader of the party. But the more interesting point is when adjustments are made. Cabinet, how much will the government be able to create concrete results? Because the past 7 months have only been a boxing dance! “Lightning Rod” Click to read the column. “Be bold” more
