The unique Senate committee that is studying the president’s casino-entertainment complex legislation is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra next week to discuss the bill’s justification.
The agency’s chair, Senator Veerapun Suvannamai, announced on Wednesday that the commission will hold its next meeting on Thursday to discuss the project.
But, Dr. Veerapun refuted rumors that Ms. Paetongtarn would get invited to the meeting on Thursday.
” I’m not sure how the meeting’s plan got made public. The plan has not yet been checked, he claimed.
The agency’s spokesman, Senator Chaiyong Maneingsakul, claimed that the committee did not decide to invite an “outsider” to its next meeting at its first meeting on April 23.
Dr. Veerapun mentioned that the agency’s May 15 meeting may be attended by an outsider, and that the prime minister or other relevant ministers may be asked to appear and explain the casino-entertainment project to the committee.
Dr. Veerapun further stated that the Senate committee will establish a foundation for the study of the project and kind sub-committees during Thursday’s meeting. The research is anticipated to finish in 180 days.
At least two subcommittees may be established, according to options. One will examine the site’s effects on the economy, and the other will examine its societal effects.
The next parliamentary session is scheduled to begin on July 2 and the government has decided to delay the casino-entertainment difficult expenses.
The House of Representatives scheduled to read the bill on April 9, but the president’s backlash prevented its initial reading. Citizens have been warned that if the government continues to push for the invoice, it might endow ethical standards.
