The prime minister would reshuffle the cabinet only if a minister resigns, Gen Prawit said. Any new minister would be appointed for his recognised capability, not for other reasons, said Gen Prawit who is also the defence minister. According to Gen Prawit, people in the Northeast were satisfied with the government's efforts to free therm of informal debt and the demands of loan sharks.
