Parliament “Senator Somchai” confirms that he will submit to the Constitutional Court to take “Seththa” without a warrant – confident that the Prime Minister already knows that “Pichit” is disqualified, looking forward to criminal action against Dab 2. He is not afraid of being punished. Thaksin” checks past bills

Mr. Somchai Sawaengkarn, a member of the Senate, as one of 40 senators who filed a complaint with the Constitutional Court. Examine the ethical behavior of Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister, in appointing Mr. Phichit Chuenban as Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office. Referring to the said operation, he confirmed that it was an operation that had no foreground or background at all. It was a civic matter, not a political matter. Because of the Prime Minister must be responsible for the list of names graciously granted appointed a minister and knew or should have known that Mr. Phichit had problems with his qualifications and prohibited characteristics from Cabinet appointments last year that wer
e not submitted to His Majesty the King. Name of Mr. Phichit But in this Cabinet reshuffle There was a choice to ask about certain issues in the qualifications. and the prohibited characteristics of ministers according to Section 160 of the Constitution to the decree. Therefore, the Prime Minister must be responsible for submitting to His Majesty the King. Cabinet list and is considered a serious violation of ethics Lack of qualifications to be a minister

As for the analysis with political orders warning from the old power group that the government should not cross the line, Mr. Somchai views it as an over-analyzing matter by the media, but the Senate has always done its job of investigating. Therefore, there is no need for anyone to order it. and want to see the Election Commission and opposition MPs perform their duties To not have to give The Senator must do this himself. or criticism that The Senate tried to turn off the switch on the Prime Minister. Whether it is Prime Minister or not The senator must d
o his duty. And even if you have to wait A new set of senators will continue to perform their duties, but the current senators will still have to perform their duties until A new set of senators will take over their duties. Except for voting to choose the Prime Minister.

Mr. Somchai also confirmed that in filing the Constitutional Court this time. The Senate proceeds carefully. And the documents were reviewed 14 times, which if compared to rice, would be washed 14 times because the Election Commission and the opposition had not examined the matter. But there is an attempt by people in the government to contact and coordinate with the Senate to not join in signing. Ready to seal secret documents to prevent The senator and his family were threatened as has happened in the past, such as transferring children and grandchildren. Senator who is a government official Or go to inspect business taxes of relatives of the Senator.

In the case of concern, it will be Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, former prime minister. Regard
ing whether he knew who was the mastermind of the bill check or not, Mr. Somchai confirmed that he was not worried because there was no background and he was carrying out his duties. For the people of the country, honestly And each person performs their duties, so the government should resolve the allegations and Mr. Thaksin should go back to raising his grandchildren. Because if you are behind the scenes or become the shadow prime minister They may be guilty of charges related to domination and interference.

Mr. Somchai also mentioned the case at the Constitutional Court. There is no order for the Prime Minister to temporarily stop performing his duties until the court has ruled that The Senate submitted it according to the format. but respects the resolution of the State Constitutional Court which has both advantages and disadvantages, but I believe that the Cabinet Secretary and Secretary-General of the Council of State Even though it is under the command of the Prime Minister But will perform duties with
honesty and integrity. Do not distort information Because according to the request of the Senator, the opinion of the Council of State was also attached and believed that if there was going to be a mess with the witnesses, it would not be possible to change the facts and the law. and if the Constitutional Court allows the petitioner to attend the inquiry as well He himself is ready and expects that this case will take approximately 2 months for the court to consider.

As for the outcome of the case, aside from leaving office, Is there still another solution, such as a warning? Mr. Somchai thinks that the case can be compared with the case of Ms. Yingluck Shinawatra, former prime minister, in the transfer of Mr. Thawin Pliensri, former secretary-general of the National Security Council or NSC. Because Mr. Settha knew or had already known that Mr. Pichit lacked qualifications but still brought the matter to the King to be appointed as a minister. Therefore, if the court decides that he is wrong must be removed
from being a minister and the criminal case may be according to the nature of Ms. Yingluck’s case

As for the case where one lawyer accused The Senator had the signature forged. Mr. Somchai explained that the Senator will discuss further whether there will be legal action or not because it destroys the credibility of the person. Senator, even though the aforementioned lawyer No authorization was received from the victim at all, and the senators who signed were also qualified. Do not allow anyone to forge signatures. Mr. Somchai also mentioned the case where the Prime Minister Came out to accept that there was consultation with Mr. Wissanu Krea-ngam, former Deputy Prime Minister for Legal Affairs. In order to correct the said allegation, It is the right of the Prime Minister. Because of Mr. Wisanu Be a good lawyer which may give advice But I’m still not sure. Will it be in the case or not?
