Prawit says government had nothing to do with NLA decision

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan

 

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said the National Legislative Assembly’s decision yesterday to reject proposed Election Commissioners was entirely its own and the military junta had nothing to do with it.
 

Asked if there had been government interference, Gen Prawit said, “No, no, there was no order from the junta at all, none. The NLA just proceeded with the matter following its procedures.”

 

Nor would the candidates’ rejection affect plans for local elections “for now”, he said.

 

The situation would be clearer by June, when political parties are supposed to be ready to contest the election, he said.

 

In a closed-door meeting yesterday (February 22), the NLA voted overwhelmingly to reject all seven candidates put forward for the commission.

Another round in the selection process began immediately and by law will have to be completed within 90 days.

 

The law requires that candidates receive at least 125 votes out of a possible 248 votes in the NLA to become election commissioners. The seven named yesterday fell short of that.

 

NLA president Pornpetch Wichitcholchai maintained that the initial candidates’ rejection would not affect the government’s election “roadmap”.

This guy needs to fade away with all his bosses. If the Pinocchio story was actually true, this guys nose by now would resemble an old destroyers deck guns. 

'... the candidates' rejection would not affect the government's election roadmap.'

 

Nothing ever does! Because that 'roadmap' is made of infinitely extendable nylon - and besides, no one but the junta has ever seen it (and even they have not - as it does not actually exist!).

Give him a break, the tailor made ones with the extra long sleeves are still having the diamond buttons fitted. For now, he's rocking the XXXL from Paragon.

Well, if it comes from Prawit's mouth......

That's the only one with sleeves long enough to hide the watch.

That's what subliminal collar fingering does.

Amazing that they actually think people with believe such a freshly laid steaming pile of BS. Pfft...all too shameless now.

Of course the NLA made the decision entirely without interference and, because they did so strictly independently, the Junta has decided they can keep their jobs.

as true as the story about the source of the watches

What's he even doing commenting on it ?? Should be locked away, working on his explanation for the nation. Only been at it for over 2 months now :)

It's the stress about the watches. He's had to cut it down to only 5 meals a day !

Let’s also not forget his immediate superior who protected him. Protected his brother and park alleged corruption too. Equally guilty.

The list is long. Indeed immense. If one looks at Thailand as a whole, top to bottom there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of corrupt individuals in positions of power.

Prawit can directly say pigs are flying.

l don't think a comment is required on these coup leaders

Prayut doesn't have to issue an Order to the NLA.

Prawit didn't say there wasn't any contact from the junta over the issue with the NLA. Just a casual remark from a NCPO/government spokesman to the junta-appointed NLA President should suffice.

Exactly what I was thinking, when I first read the article yesterday: Prayuth and Prawit don't need to issue a specific and formal 'order' - they can just indicate which way the wind should blow - and everyone will know what they are expected to do ...

Orawit needs therapy to correct his speech impediment.. Seems every time he opens his mouth he can't stop converting the truth into a lie. Oh well some of us have no problem interpreting his noise naturally. Hehe

'... the initial candidates’ rejection would not affect the government’s election “roadmap”.'

 

Given the state of Thailand's roads, roadmap seems appropriate to describe the junta's sense of direction.
