Somkid Jatusripitak, a member of the National Council for Peace and Order and chief advisor to the prime minister, has rejected a Cabinet seat, citing his poor health, a well-informed source from the Government House said.
The source said Somkid has informed Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha that he preferred to working behind the scene. The source quoted Somkid as telling Prayut that he would select economic ministers to boost the economic team when Prayut reshuffles his Cabinet.
Prayut has confirmed that he would change his Cabinet line-up when his government turns one-year-old in September.
