Order by NCPO chief strips Thaksin of police rank

Order by NCPO chief strips Thaksin of police rank

GENERAL Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday issued an order as head of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) to revoke ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra's police rank.

Prime Minister Prayut opted to do this to avoid involving His Majesty the King in the issue, according to a government spokesman. This was “the best method in the current situation”, another spokesman said yesterday.
Previously, the government was going to seek royal endorsement to the prime minister’s acknowledgement of national police chief General Somyot Poompanmuang’s order to strip Thaksin of his rank of police lieutenant colonel.
The NCPO chief’s order was published in the Royal Gazette yesterday.
