snoop1130 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 BANGKOK (NNT) - Revisions to the Royal Thai Police Bill have been approved in a vote by members of parliament (MPs) and senators. A joint sitting has voted to pass changes to Sections 14 and 15 of the Royal Thai Police bill at its second hearing on June 16. One of the notable changes in these revisions was a structural change to the Police Commission in Section 14, in which the Prime Minister will be the chairman of the commission and other officials such as the interior permanent secretary, justice permanent secretary, attorney general, and secretary-general of the Court of Justice will be excluded. Several MPs, however, have objected to this structure, claiming that it could create opportunities for future political interference in police appointments. Some have proposed adding public sectors and the chairman of the Lawyers Council of Thailand to the commission to ensure transparency. The joint sitting also approved Section 15 of the bill, which defines the Police Commission’s responsibilities and powers, allowing them to issue rules and set policy standards for police officers. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-06-17 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

smutcakes Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 How much time and money has been spent on this to come up with something which will make not one iota of difference to the public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives them an incentive to do their jobs properly. ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
