Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has allocated the work of former deputy minister and interior minister Yongyuth Wichaidit to cabinet ministers and insisted there will not be a cabinet shake-up for the time being.

Her move came amid reported lobbying for cabinet seats among Pheu Thai Party factions following Mr Yongyuth's resignation last week.

Ms Yingluck yesterday said there would be no immediate cabinet reshuffle as the government wanted to speed up flood prevention measures and solve problems affecting people.

No offense to the writer but this entire story is likely nothing more than an effort to politically put the appearance of distance between herself and the fugitive. In the end, everyone knows who is pulling the puppet strings.

A final decision on who will be given cabinet posts will rest with members of the Shinawatra family, including ousted prime minister Thaksin, his ex-wife Khunying Potjaman na Pombejra, his younger sister Yaowapa Wongsawat and Mrs Yaowapa's husband Somchai Wongsawat, said the source.

Now I get it! That is what you call democracy, right?
Silly me. I thought it is called family business.

Yet another important government role for Chalerm not to bother himself with.

Look on the bright side : Transport ministry statistics are going to jump sharply in the governments favour with little white Kittiratt in charge.

It is no wonder Thailand has so many coups when the people's votes can be so easily manipulated as to allow one litter after another to get their noses in the trough.
