Parliament, Moving forward, saying it’s suspicious. The army is chasing after villagers. Leading a stable project to build houses, pointing out that the government is preparing to use “Navy” areas to make casinos, as for “Warawut”, former Minister of Natural Resources. He insists that he is not closing his eyes to the forest being encroached upon.
House of Representatives meeting with Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor Matha, Speaker of the House of Representatives Acting as chairman of the meeting Motion for general discussion of the government without a vote in accordance with Section 152 of the Constitution, by Mr. Chayaphon Pradoddee, MP for Bangkok, Kaew Klai Party, discussed the issue of military land. The Royal Thai Army currently has 4.5 million rai of land, more than necessary. What will you do to make it reasonable? In the past, Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Ordered policy on December 25, 2023 for the army to give 9,276 rai of land to the people as a gift to the people. In the Nong
Wua So Model Project, Udon Thani Province, it looks happy that the villagers will get land, but it appears that it is a rental contract. causing the villagers not to take it because the villagers stood and said Not a land invader Because it had been there since 1933 before the military came to ask for land to be divided to make a shooting range. Then he claimed all the land as his own. It is difficult for villagers to prove their land rights. It has always been a dispute. Therefore, in the case of Nong Wua So Model If the villagers agree to sign the land lease agreement, it is equivalent to accepting that they are land encroachers. Please go and check the land rights for the villagers first. or the case of Wang Nam Khiao land, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, since 1953 There is a clear division of land between the army’s shooting practice range and villagers’ land. But later the army came to claim the area and took all the villagers’ land.
‘There is still a face saying that he was kind enough to allocate 500 rai
of land for the people to make a living from. Even though these lands were previously owned by villagers. What rights do you give? Even though it’s not at the army, in summary, this is Santa or cat’s paw. Don’t rush to do a project for advertising purposes,” Mr. Chayaphon said.
Mr. Chayaphon said that at the same time there is also a project to build an anti-aircraft and coast guard unit in Phuket Province, worth 721 million baht, of the Royal Thai Navy. But more than half of the project details are the construction of houses. and utilities What is suspicious is that it was done in the Bang Khanun Reserved Forest area. By taking advantage of the timing of the change in the regulations of the Committee to Consider the Use of National Reserved Forests in 2022, which specifies that requests for use of reserved forest areas will be changed from requiring approval from the local council to notification only. to gobble up things belonging to the navy
‘This is a claim for security to build houses in a resort reser
ve forest. to create wealth for their own people It clearly reflects the image of the soldiers occupying the city. There is also the case of the Navy receiving a concession to quarry stone in Sattahip District, Chonburi Province in 2013 from the Ministry of Industry. Even though according to the law The Navy cannot carry out factory-type activities. I don’t know how to allow this. Know that it was during the Yingluck government period. Help generate income of 200 million baht from this project. But with a clear mistake The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) therefore pointed out that the Royal Thai Navy cannot compete with the private sector. Therefore, business was suspended and the area was ordered to be restored to its original condition. But until now, there has been no action,’ Mr. Chayaphon said.
Mr. Chayaphon said that at the same time there was still electrical business being done in Samae San Subdistrict. of the Navy Claims to be a security area But as a service measure, there are frequent power ou
tages. Claiming stability but owning wealth Even though the people of Samae San went to submit a letter to the Prime Minister for assistance, on November 5, 2023, the Prime Minister called the Navy to discuss. Take a photo of a big advertisement, but it appears that a week later, the Navy went to put up signs to chase villagers out of the area. What did the Prime Minister talk to the Navy about?
Mr. Chayaphon said the Navy has a project to build a second runway with the new terminal at U-Tapao Airport. Even though it’s not related to anything. And the Navy is also responsible for the electrical system, water supply, and wastewater treatment system. Waste management system fuel management system of the city of Mahanakorn Aviation, 6,500 rai, recently learned that The government sees that An entertainment complex with a casino will be built. Come to live in the navy area in this zone.
‘This government is on good terms with the military. This government, with the duo Tin and Tha, must stop doing superficial pr
ojects. for advertising content Taking people as victims of marketing There are many military businesses at the moment. I don’t know when it will be listed on the stock market. There will probably only be people fighting over each other because they are stable and wealthy,’ Mr. Chayaphon said.
After Mr. Chayaphon finished his discussion, Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor said that he did not want to interrupt. But I’m worried about being recorded in the meeting. Please allow me to retract the word “woeful”.
Then Mr. Warawut Silpa-archa, Minister of Social Development and Human Security As the former Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Got up to explain that Phuket Province area During that time, it was a time of relief from the Covid-19 situation. It is very sought after. So there was an attempt to invade the forest. The Ministry of Natural Resources He asked the Navy to come protect him. At the same time, it must be done in parallel with development. which together with local organizations requesting to use
the space Therefore, it would not be correct to say that it was the army’s fault. Confirm that you are not closing your eyes and ears. But it is protection.
