The cabinet on Tuesday approved the transfer of Mr Chakkrit from the top post at the department. He will swap jobs with finance deputy permanent secretary Patchara Anuntasilpa, who takes over as Treasury Department director-general. He believed it might be linked to the implementation of the Ban Thanarak Pracharat housing project on Soi Phahon Yothin 11, which faced strong opposition from residents in the area.
