Focus on competence published : 8 Mar 2021 at 04:30 14 Thailand will lose the chance to lead disruptive changes in the digital and education sector if Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha continues to allow political jockeying for cabinet quotas dominate his decision on the forthcoming cabinet reshuffle. Despite an impending reshuffle -- now inevitable after a Criminal Court ruling effectively stripped Buddhipongse Punnakanta, Nataphol Teepsuwan and Thaworn Senniam of their posts as Digital Economy and Society (DES) Minister, Education Minister and Deputy Transport Minister, respectively -- no politicians in the coalition seem to be paying attention to problems which may arise from the vacancies. Instead, everyone is focusing on ministerial quotas and nominating candidates to fill the posts.
