Wisanu's resignation effective tomorrow : Thaksin

Caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said on Friday resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Wisanu Kruengam is effective on Saturday.
"Tomorrow (Sunday), Wisanu will be out of his post," Thaksin said. Wisanu said on Thursday that he will resign from the position but the resignation will be effctive next month as he needed time to finish his unfinished works. Many observers said Thaksin was giving a cold shoulder to his former legal adviser who was known for his strong defender for him. When asked who will replace Wisanu to oversee legal affairs, Thaksin said there were plenty of officials who can do the jobs. Meanwhile Wisanu told reporters that he would travel overseas in the next few days to do some business. He said he would not want to talk why he resigned and would not comment on speculations that other ministers will follow him by resigning from the government. So he bid farewell to reporters and emphasised that he would not re-enter into politics and will surely not be deputy prime minister again.
