The government was criticized by the Move Forward Party( MFP ) on Friday for refusing to allow it to lead the anti-corruption House committee, particularly the ruling Pheu Thai Party.
The government’s refusal to give the foe the chance to lead panel essential for maintaining the checks-and-balances program, according to MFP secretary-general Chaithawat Tulathon, was extremely disappointing.
According to him, it should become customary for opposition functions to preside over House committees that oversee and evaluate the function of the government.
He claimed that because the Prayut Chan-o-cha management allowed the foe to preside over the House committee on anti-corruption, it was more open-minded than the Srettha Thavisin management.
Following the finalization of the 35 House committee chairmanships, Mr. Chaithawat spoke. Social parity committees are assigned in proportion to the number of MPs.
Pheu Thai you chair 10 committees, while Move Forward, which has 151 seats and leads all parties, is entitled to chair 11. With 71 seating, Bhumjaithai, the third-largest, is qualified to preside over five sections.
The main opposition party is in charge of committees that oversee public spending, administrative and military affairs, and independent people agencies, but Pheu Thai was unable to secure the House anti-corruption committee.
Additionally, Move Forward was unable to convince Bhumjaithai to resign from the House commissions on labor and decentralization of power.
The 35 committees’ seat assignments were finalized after more than three days of negotiations, according to assistant House Speaker Pichet Chuamuangphan.
By Wednesday, he said, each council would match to choose deputies and different positions after receiving the names of MPs to serve on it.
The United Thai Nation( UTN ), the Democrat Party, and Chartthaipattana and Prachachart each have one committee, in addition to the three main parties. The Palang Pracharath Party also received three committees.
A UTN MP for Ratchaburi named Akradej Wongpitakroj stated that Move Forward would simultaneously chair the House committee on the matters of judge, prosecutions, and open independent agencies with his party, which also chairs the power and business panels.
He added that they could change every year or hold the position for two years before doing so. He said both parties had discuss how to turn the chairmanship again.
