Pathum Thani considers how to handle a member for Pheu Thai.

When handling the controversy surrounding the provincial administrative organization ( PAO ) chairman, Pathum Thani provincial authorities will follow the Interior Ministry’s instructions and the Council of State’s legal advice.

Governor Passakorn Bunyaluck stated on Saturday that no decisions have been made at this point because Charn Phuangphet&nbsp won the PAO chairman contest last Sunday and the Election Commission (EC ) has yet to support the election results.

” As the officer of regional operational body, I will proceed in accordance with the Interior Ministry’s guidelines, rules, and the views of the CoS”, Mr Passakorn said.

Mr. Charn, a member from the Pheu Thai Party, won the local election on June 30 despite widespread skepticism as a result of a recent misconduct trial involving his previous leadership as PAO chairman ten years ago.

When it accepted the case brought by the National Anti-Corruption Commission ( NACC ) in 2012, the Region 1 Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases suspended Mr. Charn, who was then the PAO chief.

The Pheu Thai Party claimed that Mr. Charn should be suspended from his place as Pathum Thani PAO chair, but the CoS claimed that Mr. Charn must still go on trial.

A senior official from the Interior Ministry confirmed on Friday that the government was prepared to impose a expulsion order as soon as Mr. Charn took office.

This action is in line with a letter released in April of this year outlining the steps that need to be taken when local political workplace holders are publicly accused of wrongdoing by the NACC.

The accused must resign from their positions and notify the government or city chief as soon as possible in accordance with the memo.

A failure to comply may lead to an investigation and possible removal from office.

However, Prinya Thaewanarumitkul, a law professor at Thammasat University, said on Saturday that Mr Charn was ready to challenge the blog because the courtroom has not yet issued a ruling in his case.

He noted that since December 2022, the CoS has provided legal counsel in regards to circumstances like Mr. Charn’s since local administrative systems have been elected throughout the nation.

” In light of recent circumstances, did the democratic organization tell him that he might not be ready to carry out his duties despite being elected?” And did Pheu Thai know about the CoS ‘ guidance”? he asked.

By September 30th, the government intends to create drug-free areas in the nation following the Roi Et and Nan type.

Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, made the announcement this month at a cellular cabinet meeting that he would work with various organizations to solve the country’s pharmaceutical problems.

He claimed that the government would prosecute and deter dealers and provide treatment and rehabilitation for drug addicts so they can rehabilitate successfully in society.

Mr Srettha therefore asked municipal governors, particularly the one in Nakhon Ratchasima, to choose a medication reduction type used in Roi Et and Nan in their particular jurisdiction.

The concept, which designates areas with high drug prevalence as no-tolerance zones, is now being used in Nan’s Tha Wang Ga district and Roi Et’s Thawatchaburi district.

Mr. Srettha claimed that the no-tolerance design has demonstrated successful methods and structuring for tackling medicines through the inclusion of all state agencies.

Because drugs pose a serious threat to everyone’s coming, he said,” the president’s current goal is to stop the use of drugs.”

He likewise urged provincial governors to work with the authorities, the Office of the Narcotics Control Board, and other organizations to monitor drug users and inspect all red-zone locations, while medicine dealers are required to be prosecuted.

Police and the Ministries of Interior, Public Health and Defence had spear the program to deliver rehabilitation, while the Public Health Ministry had monitor drug users, he said.

He claimed that the supervision of the recovery process will be a matter of the Department of Mental Health and other medical institutions.

He also urged the ministries of knowledge and technology to take steps to stop drug use among youngsters.

Pro-cannabis organizations have pledged to stage a protest outside Government House on Monday against the government’s plan to re-list the flower as a opiate.

The action comes in response to the commission overseeing illegal drugs ‘ decision to support the classification of cannabis and cannabis as narcotics.

Based on the agency’s quality, hemp and hemp are to be regarded as opioid species except for their trees, foliage, roots and seeds. Cannabis buds and any other substances that contain more than 0.2 % tetrahydrocannabinol ( THC ) will also be categorized as narcotics. If the Office of the Narcotics Control Board approves the relisting, which is scheduled to go into effect on January 1st of next year, the board voted by the bulk to support it.

Prasitchai: No open attention

The Writing Thai Cannabis’Future pro-cannabis group’s secretary-general, Prasitchai Nunual, stated that cannabis activists may hold a rally monday outside Government House to protest the walk.

He said the council’s decision is never based on the public’s attention and could be an administrative crime. He threatened to file criminal and civil claims against the council and public health secretary Somsak Thepsutin.

The committee member who voted against the listing, Panthep Puapongpan, wrote on Facebook that if the plant is relisted, the narcotics code wo n’t be effective in resolving the marijuana-related issues. ” The answer is to move specific legislation. He claimed that the only way to strictly enforce rules governing how to use and not to use cannabis is to protect those who do n’t.

Anutin Charnvirakul, the head of the Bhumjaithai Party, warned the Public Health Ministry on Saturday&nbsp to make for some challenging questions following the relisting of cannabis.

The council that approved decriminalizing the flower is the same as the one that agreed to decriminalise it, according to Mr. Anutin, so the board owes the people an explanation.

” We’ve made the laws more permissible,” he said. What may occur if people cultivate cannabis? Did they face legal action? What about the 8, 000 marijuana-related criminals who were freed in June 2022? he said.
