Says financial difficulties may take priority
The ruling Pheu Thai Party and the main opposition People’s Party ( PP ), the coalition partner, objected to the attempt to amend sections of the 2017 constitution, including one that relates to the ethical standards held by political officeholders.
The original intention of Sections 160 ( 4 ) and ( 5 ) of the 2017 charter, for instance, is to keep people who do not meet certain moral standards from obtaining power in public office, Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, deputy leader of the UTN, said on Friday.
Any effort to denigrate this might make it easier for those without the necessary morals, he claimed.
While there is an absolute need to change certain provisions of the charter, Mr. Thanakorn said that what is more serious today is improving the economy.
Parliament is advised to carefully consider this matter before making any more decisions, he continued.
” If the Senate and the House of Representatives decide to amend the morality part of the charter, it might be seen as doing so in the interests of their own pursuits.”
Worse nevertheless, if someone attempts to obstruct this move to amend the contract by filing appeals, they run the risk of being found guilty of breaking the law by pushing for like a self-serving legislative change, according to Mr. Thanakorn.
He was responding to Pheu Thai’s distribution of its limited charter-amending bill to the House on Wednesday, which followed the PP’s obedience of a similar draft last week.
He said the 2017 law, approved in a referendum, is an effective method of resisting corruption and wrongdoing.
According to House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, the Lower House’s two charges ‘ discussions are likely to start in mid-October, if not sooner than originally anticipated, but no later than that.
Chusak Sirinil, the secretary of the PM’s business and deputy leader of Pheu Thai law affairs, refuted claims that the party has a covert agenda.
The group has been accused of trying to persuade past leading Thaksin Shinawatra, the de facto party’s de facto leader, to re-acquire his position in order to avoid facing a legal action in connection with his alleged collusion with the ruling side’s domestic affairs.
Mr. Chusak claimed that Pheu Thai’s charter-amending charge is rather intended to remove what he termed an overabundance of restrictions and guarantee equal rights for all Thais in joining any social party of their choice.
Even those who have been given suspended prison terms are currently prohibited from forming a social party, which he described as unfair.
In the event that the two organizations are unable to agree on a common cause, Mr. Chusak confirmed that Pheu Thai is attempting to amend the National Anti-Corruption Commission’s ( NACC ) organic law in order to end its ability to bypass the prosecution and bring cases to court on their own.
Pheu Thai furthermore aims to alter the natural law on political events, said Mr Chusak.
Nakharin Mektrairat, the Constitutional Court’s leader, declined to comment on the two parties ‘ effort to update the contract, which some critics see as a growth that could cause the court’s function to change.
In another reports, Pheu Thai is attempting to meet with all alliance members to explain the group’s proposals for charter-amending before Sept. 27 in the voice of Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, who is acting as a state punch. He claimed that a consensus among all of these parties was necessary. He added that he was unable to say at this time whether all of the alliance partners may back the bill.
The limited act would be pushed in opposite with the president’s move to modify the law.
