Ministers told to 'speed up'
Among the new appointees would be deputy ministers for defence, interior and agriculture, said the source.
A source privy to yesterday's Cabinet meeting said Surayud had sought and received approval from his ministers for new ministers."Each minister gave the prime minister a free rein to name newcomers," the source said. The source said Surayud also asked his ministers to work at a faster pace and improve coordination with the CNS and the NLA, the better to get their work done. "From now on, Surayud may hold a closed-door meeting ahead of each weekly Cabinet meeting, in order to check on work progress, and will invite the CNS to attend some joint sessions with the Cabinet," the source said. Deputy Prime Minister Kosit Panpiemras and PM's Office Minister Prasith Kowilaikul were asked to work closer with lawmakers, in order to speed up the legislative process, he said.
