By k on May 26, 2009

BANGKOK, 26 May 2009 (NNT) – Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva affirmed that only Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperative would be involved in the Cabinet reshuffle.

Regarding the resignation of the Minister, Interior Minister Chavarat Charnvirakul as Bhumjaithai Party Leader had sent a letter to the Prime Minister already; however, the Prime Minister said that he had not read the letter yet, so he still did not know the new Minister’s name.

The Prime Minister said the process for reshuffling the new Minister would be done step by step. Nevertheless, he elaborated that the new Minister must be able to carry on the existing policy of the Ministry and be capable of solving the agricultural problems as well.
