Criticism contends that there was abuse of power.
For her own gain, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has denied meddling in the management of two well-known land disputes, one involving Alpine Real Estate and Alpine Golf and Sports Club in Pathum Thani and the other involving the Khao Kradong in Buri Ram.
Ms. Paetongtarn explained that her relatives had officially acquired the Alpine area when she was 11 years old on the first day of the Monday censure conversation.
She was not long the owner of the land, according to the PM, in response to the opposition’s accusation that she had been fired.
Sutham Jaritngam, an MP for the main opposition party, had previously claimed earlier that the top was using her executive power to avert the court’s request to hold off on the restoration of the Alpine area to Wat Thamikararam Worawihan, a Buddhist temple, for the benefit of her and her family, for as long as feasible.
According to Mr. Sutham, Ms. Paetongtarn’s transfer of company shares to her mother, Khunying Potjaman na Pombejra, may have contributed to the delay.
According to the MP, family members frequently moved company shares between each other, allegedly to keep the company in charge and avert the return of the land.
This raises questions about the prime minister’s moral standards and level of integrity, according to Mr. Sutham.
He said,” She had better discuss with her family the need to redeem the sin by returning the land to the temple [the real owner of the land]” if the PM ever decides to dissolve the House or step down after that.
However, the prime minister refuted his remarks.
” I have never interfered ] with the handling of the Alpine land case, as prime minister.” She continued,” I have not authorized any state agency to interfere with the proceedings.”
She then addressed Anutin Charnvirakul, the deputy prime minister, and Anutin Charnvirakul, the interior minister, to explain how the government handled the conflict.
The PM, according to Chulapong Yukate, a PP list-MP, also claimed she had a hidden agenda and that she either didn’t know about or ignored the order rescinding deeds and returning the plot to the temple.
The MP believes Ms. Paetongtarn could avoid the Alpine land allegations because she could use Khao Kradong, another land dispute case, as a case study to win support from coalition partner the Bhumjaithai Party during the debate.
Ms. Paetongtarn refuted this, claiming that Khao Kradong is a dispute between villagers and the Thai State Railway, which was being handled strictly in accordance with the law.
Before Ms. Paetongtarn became prime minister and assumed the position of interior minister, Mr. Anutin added that both the land disputes between Alpine and Khao Kradong had been resolved.
He and the prime minister neither had any roles that might have been sufficient to compel them to trade horses.
By allowing the sale of the monastic land to make way for the Alpine Golf Club in 2002, the Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct cases ruled in 2017 that former Pheu Thai leader Yongyuth Wichaidit abused his power while serving as acting permanent secretary for the interior.
