Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai yesterday expressed his readiness to take temporary charge of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) should Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra assign him the role.
His remarks followed the Constitutional Court's decision to suspend Pol Col Tawee Sodsong, the current justice minister, from overseeing the DSI and the Special Case Committee.
Mr Phumtham, who also chairs the Special Case Committee, confirmed he would take up any assigned responsibilities in accordance with the law and due process.
He noted the premier is expected to appoint a temporary replacement for Pol Col Tawee on Tuesday.
