Yingluck promises to put "the right men on the right jobs"
BANGKOK, July 6 (TNA) - Thai prime minister-to-be Yingluck Shinawatra insisted on Wednesday that she has not yet worked out a new Cabinet line-up of her Pheu Thai Party-led coalition government, but promising that she will put "the right men on the right jobs".
Yingluck told reporters before a meeting of her Pheu Thai Party's economic policy committee that she is looking into her party's economic policies and will be later looking for suitable persons to join her Cabinet, taking individual competence, expertise and appropriateness into careful consideration when working out the new Cabinet-line up, dismissing media reports that she has already fixed certain persons in her Cabinet and has reserved 10 key portfolios for her Pheu Thai Party.
Yingluck, who is the youngest sister of exiled ex-Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra, also denied recent reports that she would appoint Thaksin a Thai trade ambassador, a non-political position with no legal power, saying that her party's executive board, instead, has the legitimate authority on all decision makings, and that Thaksin had never requested for any position and he had opted to live overseas and to give any recommendation through her party's strategic panel; while her party would be pushing for a national reconciliation.
The would-be first female Thai premier also said that she believed there should not be any problem if no red-shirt people were included in her Cabinet line-up, and that the awaited Cabinet line-up would become clear after the Election Commission of Thailand (EC) officially endorses MPs elected in the new national poll last Sunday.
