His Majesty will also preside over the swearing-in ceremony for the Cabinet members following the royal audience with Samak Sundaravej.

The Cabinet Secretariat yesterday submitted the list of Cabinet appointments for royal approval.

The Office of His Majesty's Principal Private Secretary outlined the palace protocols for the Cabinet appointments and the swearing-in to take place on the same day.

Samak said the process of vetting his ministers' qualifications was complete and he was awaiting the scheduling of the royal audience.

People Power Party deputy secretary-general Noppadon Pattama said the Cabinet members were obliged to work hard to prove their competence.

Noppadon praised Samak for being honest in admitting that his Cabinet had some shortcomings.

"I think the Cabinet could improve its image if every minister devotes full attention to their job," he said.
