Special Report: Government Restructuring and Retirement of Key Officials
The government boundary has become a turning point, signifying an impending change in the state bureaucracy. The reorganization of the security manager level and the appointment of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Economy and “Chief of the Armed Forces” are imminent. However, the current government faces hurdles in making these changes, as the appointment of Pita Limcharoenrat as the 30th Prime Minister is unlikely to gain approval from the 250 parliamentarians needed to raise their hands. This is due to the constitutional constraints outlined in section 169(2), which prevents the appointment or transfer of civil servants without the approval of the Electoral Commission.
Furthermore, the retirement of high-ranking civil servants poses a challenge for the government. In the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Krisada Chinawicharana, the Permanent Secretary, is set to retire, as are other prominent officials including Mr. Lawon Sangsanit, Mr. Ekniti Nitithanprapas, Mr. Patchara Anantasin, and Mr. Chamroen Phothiyot. The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives also has several officials who will retire, including Mr. Suradej Samiprem, Mr. Kajon Raoprasert, Mr. Praphit Chanma, Mr. Chalermchai Suwanarak, Mr. Kaeng Yutthadamdamrong, and Mr. Prakob Paopong. Additionally, the retirement of Mr. Kulit Sombatsiri, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Energy, and officials in the Ministry of Social Development and Human Welfare, such as Ms. Saranphat, Ms. Jintana Chanbamrung, and the Secretary to the Governor-SEC EGAT, adds to the list of upcoming vacancies.
The delay in appointing new officials has also affected economic agencies like the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and the Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The appointment of Thepparat Theppitak as Governor of EGAT has faced challenges from the Electoral Commission, as the current Governor, Mr. Bunyanit Wongrakmit, has not yet completed his term. Similarly, the position of secretary general of the SEC, currently held by Ruenwadee Suwanmongkol, is set to be replaced. However, the Securities and Exchange Act restricts the appointment to two consecutive terms, creating difficulties in finding a suitable replacement.
The recruitment process for the new SEC secretary has also come under scrutiny. With the submission of two names by the SEC Board to the Minister of Finance, Akhom Termpittayapaisith, the final decision lies with the cabinet. However, the delay in the recruitment process raises concerns about attracting highly qualified candidates and the credibility of the new recruitment board.
The changes are not limited to economic agencies. The Royal Thai Armed Forces will see a change in leadership, with General Chalermpol Srisawat, General Songwit Nunphakdee, General Thitichai Thienthong, and General Narongpan Jitkaewthae being considered for key positions. The Royal Thai Navy, Royal Thai Air Force, and National Police Agency will also undergo leadership changes, with candidates like Admiral Suwin Chaeng Yodsuk, Admiral Chonlatit Nawanukroh, Pol Gen Torsak Sukwimol, and Pol Gen Surachet Hakpal vying for important posts. The retirement of the secretary general of the National Security Council, Suphot General Malaniyom, adds to the anticipation of changes in the military.
Similarly, the Ministry of Interior will witness a major reshuffle, with the retirement of governors from 17 provinces. This may be the final batch of governors before the implementation of centralized elections. Additionally, several key officials in departments such as the Provincial Administration Department, Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, and the Department of Public Works and Town and Country Planning will retire, leaving vacancies at the Inspector General level.
With multiple retirements and restructuring at various government levels, the appointment of new officials and the reorganization of key positions is a pressing matter. The delay in these processes raises concerns about the efficiency and stability of the government in the coming months.
