According to a military source, best military leaders worry that a proposed revision of the regulations could cause undue political intervention in the interests of the armed forces.
The issue came after a proposal to amend two regulations governing the Defence Ministry’s managerial functions and the Military Court contract was acknowledged by the Defence Ministry meeting next week. Additionally, it establishes new standards for general promotion.
The primary secretary had the power to dismiss senior officials suspected of plotting a military coup, which was at the center of the plan.
The council’s intention to put two more people to the currently three-member structure was even brought up during the meeting.
The cause claimed that the military forces have not seen specifics of the proposal made by Defence Minister Sutin Klungsang. asked the government to vote on.
The committee was informed that Mr. Sutin had set up a working group to create changes to the two laws at the April 19 meeting. The team is chaired by Gen Somsak Rungsita.
At the conference, no specifics of the request were made public.
According to the cause, it was anticipated that the two more council members may represent the government.
The leaders of the military forces were unsure whether the proposed plan intended to change the content of the so-called” Seven-Tiger Board,” which was primarily responsible for putting up top-level reshuffles of martial officials.
The committee is usually made up of seven people: the army permanent minister, the chief of defence forces and the commanders-in-chief of the military, air force and navy, as well as the defence minister and a deputy defence minister if one is installed.
In case a state does not assign a deputy defence secretary, the Seven-Tiger Board has six people.
” There’s no telling at this stage if the table will be in its latest content,” the source said. Armed forces leaders worry that if more government board members are appointed, they could lose their bargaining position in terms of how many martial reshuffles are conducted.
The military makes leaders have usually had the greatest say in terms of who will be promoted to important positions, including the commander-in-chief seats, with the majority of five vote in their hands.
