"Phumtham" points out to accelerate the process of establishing the Cabinet to be completed by the end of August, expects the new government to be operational in September, admits that almost every party has submitted more than one name, still holding back the Democrat Party from joining the government, throws the Palang Pracharath Party to sort out the problem after news of 2 lists being proposed Mr. Phumtham Vejjayachai, acting prime minister and leader of the Pheu Thai Party, spoke about the progress of the formation of the Paethongtarn 1 cabinet, which has been rumored to be completed and submitted for royal endorsement on August 26. He said that he has not yet specified that stage, depending on overall readiness, but is expediting because he wants to see continuous problem-solving so that a new government from the election can work to its full potential. He asked people not to worry because we are acting as a government until a new government is formed, after which they will be discharged from duty acc ording to regulations. However, he would like everything to be completed by the end of August so that it can be submitted for royal endorsement. As for when the royal endorsement will occur, that depends on the inspection process. As for the government's policy statement to the parliament, Mr. Phumtham said that a parallel meeting has been prepared. As soon as the royal command is issued to appoint, a meeting can be called. It is expected that the new government will be able to perform its duties by the beginning of September or no later than mid-September. As for the case where the number of people exceeds the number of ministerial positions, has this matter been cleared up? Mr. Phumtham said that almost every party exceeds it because they do not know according to the new discretion that the Constitutional Court interpreted. The word ethics is very broad, so we must be careful. When asked if the Palang Pracharath Party has a clear conclusion, after there were rumors that two names had been sent, Mr. Phumt ham said that he had to ask permission because according to etiquette, he should not mention other parties. However, he believed that each party already knew well. They had to act quickly to keep up with the country's situation because various disasters were waiting. He did not want to delay it to the point of affecting the disasters that the people had suffered. They had to proceed according to the process. As for whether the Democrat Party will be included in the coalition government this time, Mr. Phumtham said that the formation of the government cannot be clearly stated until it is finally agreed upon and the names are submitted and a royal command is issued because in the various processes, we do not know who will have problems or not, or whether each party will receive the current quota or if there are internal problems in the party that cannot be handled or not. We do not know the facts. As for inviting the Democrat Party to join the government, will there need to be an invitation or can names be su bmitted? Mr. Phumtham said that at this time, we should not do this because it will cause uncertainty or instability in the coalition government. It should be done step by step. If any problems arise, they will be resolved according to the situation. Because today, we have joined hands to form a government and everyone has already offered themselves. It depends on how the details will be settled. If the Democrat Party joins, will it have to inform other parties in the government? Mr. Phumtham said that it has not reached that stage yet. He asked to think about it at the current stage and asked to think about solving problems for the people first. Mr. Phumtham stated that he personally has not yet submitted a resume and has not been informed of which ministry he will hold.- Source: Thai News Agency
