Thammanat” does not know who the Palang Pracharath Party has nominated as ministers, and insists that he has never nominated anyone in his own quota. He sees it as the Prime Minister’s decision-making power, and all sectors must respect the core party.
Colonel Thammanat Prompao, Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, revealed that he did not know which people the Palang Pracharath Party had nominated as ministers because he did not attend the party’s executive committee meeting and did not participate in the nomination process. He also confirmed that he had never nominated a minister as rumored. It is up to the core leaders of the government formation to consider who to nominate as ministers, and each political party must respect and honor the decision of the core party. The prime minister has the power to decide who to select to be part of the cabinet this time.
As for whether the new ministerial profiles have been filled in, Lt. Col. Thammanat said that the matter of filling in or not is the responsib
ility of the Cabinet Secretary, and he would not mention other individuals, especially in the case of Pol. Gen. Patcharawat Wongsuwan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, who has not yet received the profile form because he does not know. He also could not answer whether it is possible that the Pheu Thai Party did not accept the list of the Palang Pracharath Party. Importantly, we have to see whether the Pheu Thai Party has invited the Palang Pracharath Party to join the government. It is expected that by Friday, August 30, we will know which parties will join the government. As for whether there will be outsiders, that is the prime minister’s authority to consider which individuals have the appropriate knowledge and abilities.
In the past, have you talked to General Prawit Wongsuwan, the leader of the Palang Pracharath Party? Colonel Thammanat stated that in the past, he has been going to the area every day to monitor the water situation. As for the relationship within t
he Palang Pracharath Party, it is still like this. He has no intention of resigning because he has political etiquette and does not encroach on each other. However, if anyone encroaches on him, he is ready to fight back. He also confirmed that he is full of politics and has grown up in other ways that are not politics.
