Plans for Thai cabinet reshuffle
Updated
Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej has announced plans for a major cabinet reshuffle following a series of legal battles that forced three of his ministers out of office.
The Prime Minister says the new cabinet line-up will be announced later this month, implying that he might wait for a decision in late July in yet another court case that could force three more of his ministers to suspend their duties.
Last week, foreign minister Noppadon Pattama resigned after the Constitutional Court ruled that he had violated the charter by signing a controversial deal with Cambodia over a disputed temple on the border.
The court also forced out the health minister for concealing his wife's assets when he took office.
