The most insidious aspect of this appointment is that Dannat will become a minister without ever having to face an election. He might have a substantial understanding of the military, but he won't have any understanding of the priorities of the family on the street. I don't think it at all healthy, for the country as a whole, that he is likely to have substantial political influence. It smacks too much of a US style cabinet - and look what a mess they've ended up in...
