Surachate ‘Big Joke’ Hakparn will work in an advisory position, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Wednesday, confirming speculation that he would be assigned to a new position at the police head office.
Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said the Police Commission meeting on Wednesday approved the return of Pol Lt Gen Surachate to work in an advisory position.
The new post, equal in rank to an assistant police chief position, was created in its previous meeting on Friday — but the prime minister denied it was tailor-made for any officer in particular. The position was needed to map out a strategy for the police organisation, Gen Prayut explained.
