Northeast governors given new positions
The Cabinet yesterday endorsed a series of appointments for 10 provincial governors and senior ministry officials which are intended to remove some from their current areas of influence.
Most are based in the Northeast, the stronghold of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and have been accused of failing to respond to instructions from the current administration. Royal approval will be sought for the appointments by the Interior Ministry. Supphachai Yuwaboon, a high-ranking C-10 administrator, was appointed an inspector general attached to the Office of the Permanent Secretary. Si Sa Ket governor Santat Chuttuchai will swap posts with Buri Ram governor Kongkiat Arkkaraprasertgul. Amnat Charoen governor Kittiphum Suwan has been appointed a C-10 administrator attached to the Office of the Permanent Secretary. Inspector general Sompong Anuyutthapong will become the governor of Nan province. Current Nan governor Parinya Pantong will become governor of Amnat Charoen. Udon Thani governor Jareuk Pariyaphol has been appointed an inspector general at the Interior Ministry. He will be replaced by Suphoj Laowansiri, Nong Khai governor. The vacant post in Nong Khai will be filled by Chai Nat governor Chadej Musikkawong, whose place will be filled by Praphakorn Samiti, who is currently an Interior Ministry inspector general.
