Usually, the criticism is elected to lead a committee that examines government operations.

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.

Itthiphol Kunplome, who is allegedly in Cambodia, is accused of approving a Pattaya villas in 2008.

Itthiphol Kunplome, a former governor of Pattaya and culture minister who is currently facing an arrest warrant for misbehavior in connection with the 2008 approval of an contentious condo development there, has reportedly contacted the police to turn themselves in.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission’s( NACC ) secretary general, Niwat Kasemmongkok, announced on Friday that he had learned Mr. Itthiphol was considering abdicating.

However, I’m not sure which organization the original culture minister did report himself to. perhaps a jury? This is because the judge issued an arrest warrant for him, Mr. Niwat said.

When he was the mayor of Pattaya on September 10, 2008, Mr. Itthiphol, 50, was wanted on an arrest warrant issued by the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases Region 2 for illegally issuing a permit for the construction of the Waterfront Suites & amp, Residences. The project’s proprietor was Bali Hai Co.

For wrongdoing and dereliction of duty in contravention of Segment 157 of the Criminal Code, the NACC had requested court approval to detain Mr. Itthiphol and two other people, Pichet Uthaiwatthananon and Witthaya SirinvorachaI.

Only weeks before the 15-year statute of limitations on the situation expired, Mr. Itthiphol had earlier left the country after learning that an arrest warrant may be issued for him early this month. On August 30, he departed the nation for Cambodia via Suvarnabhumi aircraft. Two days prior to the issuance of the arrest warrants, the other two offenders had already left the country on September 3.

The statute of limitations never longer protects someone who is evading arrest, so government sought a legal interpretation that permitted them to request an empty permit.

Mr. Itthiphol had previously held the position of society secretary in the administration of Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha. He is the son of the late Chon Buri gang Somchai Khunpluem and the younger sibling of former Pattaya governor Sonthaya Kunplome. The Move Forward Party won seven out of the 10 chairs in the state during the most recent general election, despite the family’s long-standing dominance in government.

At the base of Khao Phra Tamnak valley, close to Pattaya Bay and Bali Hai Pier, the Waterfront property was intended to include 57 decks on two ray of land.

The project’s architecture and the condition of the area it was built on faced opposition. The unfinished structure has already been completely destroyed. & nbsp,

The assistant municipal police chief, Pol Maj Gen Noppasil Poonsawat, claimed that Mr. Songsak admitted during doubting on Wednesday that he had killed four of the five boys born to Ms. Jessada.

In the meantime, Mr. Songsak may face additional charges for four more deaths, he continued.

A proposal for a fare reduction for the mass rapid transit ( MRT ) Red and Purple lines has been approved by the board of the State Railway of Thailand( SRT ), setting the price at 20 baht.

Nirut Maneephan, the governor of SRT, announced on Friday that the table, led by Jirut Wisanjit, had approved the 20-baht level fare proposal in accordance with the new government’s flat-fare policy being tested on these two routes.

The SRT will hold discussions with the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand( MRTA ) and Krungthai Bank ( KTB ) to enhance the software systems of the Red Line and the Purple Line, enabling them to interconnect, after the cabinet has approved the proposal, according to Mr. Nirut.

A research on the & nbsp found that the SRT would lose money as a result of the flat fare reduction, necessitating annual payment of about 80 million baht. However, given that more people would choose electric train services, the survive reduction is anticipated to stimulate changes in passenger behavior. According to the SRT governor, this change would increase the number of travellers by 5 to 20 % annually and improve the company’s profits.

The Red Line now serves about 20,000 people per day, he continued.

Mr. Srettha, who is also the finance minister, stated to Thai press on Wednesday during an exam in New York that he has never thought about firing Ms. Sethaput.

It’s hilarious, I tell you. The prime minister said,” I’ve never had such an idea, and I’m not sure how for news got out. Since I entered politics, I have had three encounters with the government of the central banks.

The government went to the Pheu Thai Party office to talk about the digital wallet plan before I took over as prime minister. I took his advice to heart and put it in writing. On the day our scheme was delivered [ on September 14 ], I afterwards ran into him at the Finance Ministry. Our conversation went smoothly, he said.

Some claim that the government of the Bank of Thailand cannot be fired by the excellent minister. Personally, I have always considered doing thus. We don’t harbor any animosity toward one another. I honor him and handle him with admiration. We are respectful of one another.

Following remarks made by Mr. Sethaput that some have interpreted as important of the digital wallet program, which he believes will play a significant role in boosting usage and reviving the business, earlier, rumors circulated on social media that his work was in danger.
