Democrat Party spokesperson Pointing out that the Prime Minister is responsible for the minister’s qualifications for the 2 million baht bag of snacks. The Supreme Court has sentenced him to imprisonment and the case is now final.
Mr. Rames Rattanachaweng, spokesman for the Democrat Party Mentioning the names of the new cabinet that Congratulations to all the new ministers. Please perform your duties for the benefit of the people and the country. Many are suitable But it must be followed up in practice on whether to act to repay the people or to whom.
Mr. Rames further said that as for Mr. Phichit Chuenban, who received the position of Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office. The Prime Minister will definitely have problems. Because the Prime Minister is well aware of the fact that Mr. Pichit has a problem with his qualifications that must definitely be interpreted as a case of contempt of court in the case of a bag of 2 million baht snacks, in which the Supreme Court has sentenced him to imprisonment and
the case is now final. If you look at the details in the Supreme Court’s judgment, you will see all the behaviors that the court has pointed out that cause disrepute to the institution of the judiciary and will affect trust and faith in the performance of duties of personnel in the judicial power.
Therefore, it is considered appropriate to punish him in a severe place. so as not to be like this again Imprison the three accused for 6 months each. There is nothing complicated in all of this. There is a principle in Section 160 of the Constitution that a person who will be a minister must (4) have evident honesty and integrity (5) not have behavior that seriously violates or fails to comply with ethical standards.
There is a principle that must be considered whether the entire story of Mr. Pichit, which has been resolved according to the Supreme Court’s judgment, is considered honest or not. Are all behaviors that have been discontinued according to the Supreme Court’s judgment considered to be behaviors that
seriously violate or fail to comply with ethical standards? It is believed that there will definitely be an interpretation submitted in this matter. And don’t come out and argue with the reason that Section 98 has all the qualifications. Or use Achan Wissanu’s excuse that the case is more than 10 years old because the issue being discussed is Section 160, which is intended to determine the importance of the person who will become Minister. Especially regarding ethics and honesty. In the end, what was the outcome of this matter? The Prime Minister must inevitably be held responsible
