Pheu Thai leader blasts PM on first day of censure debate

By THE NATION

 

 

Sompong Amornvivat, leader of Pheu Thai party and the opposition coalition, accused Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha of failing to manage the country, abuse of power, conflict of interest as well as involvement in corruption on the first day of the censure debate on Monday (February 24).

 

He said the premier had abused his power for the benefits of his own clique and failed to solve economic problems and corruption.

 

“Thailand posted growth of 1.8 per cent in 2019, the lowest rate in the past five years, according to Kasikorn Research,” he said, adding that " farmers’ incomes have plunged to a seven-year low while household debt has reached the highest level in history”.

 

The premier said he had been accused of many wrongdoing, but was never angry.

 

“Thailand is a democratic country under the constitution , while I and all members of parliament were elected by the people,” he said.

 

On being accused of not adhering to the principles of a democratic government, the premier he was concerned with corruption and vowed to solve the problem.

 

In responding to abuse of power, he said he had never violated someone’s right, or ordered anyone arrested without evidence .

 

Also, the Prime Minister said that Section 44 of the Constitution is not meant to persecute officials, but to solve an organisation's problems, citing the International Civil Aviation Organisation.

 

He also said that he had not given any special benefit to anyone and used populist projects to help low-income people.

No, it’s anything but. In democracies, you don’t have one political party who decides the rules, counts the votes, and has rival parties dissolved because they control the courts. That’s a different form of governing that beings with ‘d’.

One of the most pathetic things from yesterday's debate was apparently his little military chumps kept demanding that other politicians refer to him as General Prayut, and not Mr Prayut.

 

Even though he is now meant to be a democratically elected civilian PM (????), he still expects to be known as General. What an absolute bootlicker.

Oh, that constitution you rewrote and then didn't recite properly. Okay mate.

When you get accused of "many wrongdoing", when does it get to the point where you ask yourself, "Am I doing something wrong?".

If you believe in the constitution so strongly, why didn't you swear to uphold it?

Funny like a rash on the backs of the Thai people.   Meanwhile, Thailand under cha cha fades away.   Young people do not have jobs, foreigners are kept out and fun and hope quashed.   Vietnam is on a trajectory to overtake Thailand because, like Nero, cha cha plays as Thailand's prosperity burns.   Keep playing that fiddle and worshiping unchecked power Stevo.

Each and every response was of course the PM's personal view on things!

I want to punch Cha Cha in the throat as much as the next guy.

 

But if you are going to accuse someone of something, bring some solid evidence or proof or it will just bounce off.

 

This guy is protected from the highest level. 

 

Sticks and stones...and all that.
