PM confirms police reforms ongoing

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Prime Minister has confirmed that his government will continue to push police reforms and draft legislation against the torture and disappearing of suspects, following a heightened public outcry in light of the Pol Col Thitisan Uttanapol case.

 

Spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana indicated Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has acknowledged public concern over the case of the former Nakhon Sawan Police Station Director and pointed out he has already initiated changes to the police organization by revising the Police Act. The PM says the justice system must be strong, as a pillar of national administration, while giving an assurance that police officers who violate the law will face punishment.

 

The premier has ordered the Royal Thai Police to expedite seven key reforms, including its hierarchy, investigative and law enforcement systems, transparency in auditing and police welfare.

 

On the two draft legislations brought up in the present case, the PM said they have been consistently pushed forward over the past years and are currently pending addition to Parliament’s agenda. Speaker of the House Chuan Leekpai stated on August 26 that the two matters had been placed on the agenda for deliberation.

 

Core to the drafts are punitive measures for the torture and disappearing of suspects, preventative and reparation measures for victims and prosecution processes for offenders.

 

The second of the two drafts is the National Police Act, which is pending its second reading. Government Whip Chairman Wirat Rattanaset, who heads the draft’s review committee, explained today that every article of the draft has prompted revision, slowing the process. Nonetheless, he said if the body expedites its review it could complete the task in less than a year.

Are his lips moving again?

 

Hot air, deflection and more outright lies business as normal...

[ThailandRyan]

7 years an counting his attempts at reeling in the RTP, not one change has been made except to move people around and then place them in inactive posts instead of firing them.  Corruption is more rampant now then it was before and because of Covid and businesses closing, gambling dens stepped on, and other illegal activities one would see brown envelopes being handed over every Friday  night, like the bars in Rawai, money is tight and the police are fighting each other for the last satang they can wring from a stone.  Try again Prayut you have failed not only in completing your task of bringing happiness back to the people but also in restoring the countries faith in Government.

continues????? Has it ever started than?

[ben2talk]

Given that nobody believes a word - and everyone knows that this guy will lie through his teeth - he is fully incapable of 'confirming' anything at all.

 

We all know, the rules only apply to the 'bad' people, and any crime the 'good' people commit is fine.

I'm pretty sure the PMs have been saying that since Thailand became a Parliamentary Democracy (of sorts).

He got a spokesman to say it, knew he probably couldn't keep a straight face

[Scrotobike]

At least he is being honest - nothing was done soooo he is saying that the same will happen in the future - nothing will happen.

 

[Encore]

Typo? 

'The Prime Minister has confirmed that his government will continue to crush police reforms and draft legislation against the torture and disappearing of suspects'

[Enzian]

When we hear that officers are having their money turned down in attempts to buy their promotions in the normal fashion, then I'll believe something is starting to happen.

PM Confirms…

 

whatever follows is certain to not be truthful.

So, more talking as less action as everything is lost again in drafts, agendas and committees

A thorough culling of the ruling classes is required in Thailand for any hope of reform.
