Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha speaks following the weekly cabinet meeting at Government House on Tuesday. Speaking after Tuesday's cabinet meeting, the PM said that following the resignations of six ministers he would announce the cabinet line-up as soon as possible. Everybody has the right to speak out but it is I who make the decision, based on mutual understanding," Gen Prayut said. Former deputy transport minister Pailin Chuchottaworn is also said to be touted for the sought-after role of energy minister. This would mean Mr Suriya's hope of securing the energy portfolio in the cabinet reshuffle has been dashed again, the source said.
