Prayut goes on defensive in second day of censure debates

[webfact]

 

By Erich Parpart

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha denied all allegations of corruption and abuse of power against him on the second day of the opposition’s general debate against the government.

 

He denied involvement with Chinese Triad groups.

 

“This happened before 2014 and Tuhao came into Thailand in 2011,” he told parliamentarians.

 

“The information on the criminal ring came from the civil sector and I ordered the investigation myself.”

He's at least 50 years behind the times and in some subject areas 500 years behind the times. He doesn't know the regulations re Covid- 19 have changed/ been cancelled. And nobody tells him / well established he's not a listener and nobody under a general would dare mention anything to him, conversations confined to 'yes sir'.

Yet, he was a puppet wisely chosen. As he's still around. 

The next one won't be much different.

The people have to make a statement, the people have to remove the 250 crony senators, and the people have to find a way to turn this nation around, and drag it back from the stone age of dinosaur leadership. 

 

Prayuth, Pratin, Anutin, and Phiphat, must go. These guys are toxic, corrosive, corrupt, ineffective, incompetent, untrustworthy, very bad for the nation, and virtually assure a rotten future for the nation, a drop to 87th place in GDP, and increasing irrelevance. They have already turned Thailand from the tiger of SE Asia, to a sorry, rabid, whiny, anemic alley cat.

Only to be replaced by those just like 'em. 

What really has to go are the entities at the very top. 

In time, the caustic circles will fade with the help of the people.

Agreed.

Not gunna change as long as kids are indoctrinated rather than educated.

Trouble is, the teachers do not know the difference as they went through the same process.

Education is the initial step to learning individual life skills.

"Individuals" are not encouraged (& sometimes not tolerated) here.????????

These Censure Debates really have no teeth, and he's survived what, three or four, with no residual damage.

 

And any opposition that asks inconvenient questions gets or will get slapped with Defamation suits.

 

 

The new Prayut party and the old Prawit party will have more than enough juice to form a coalition government after the next "election".

 

When Prayut mentioned  a "twenty-year plan" many thought this was aspirational. Turns out he may have aimed too low.

No they will be appointed by the care taker government when Prayut dissolves the house. He will make himself the caretaker, another Sham.

There is a separate Organic Act which is said to describe the process. I haven't been able to find this, but that was after a very brief search.

 

I think acceptable nominees are put forth to a selection committee, who then select Senators.

 

The Senate needs to be in place in order to select a PM - I think.

 

The current Senate was appointed by the NCPO.

I think it is correct to say that the current senate was "rubber stamped" by the NCPO.

Only one person put the names forward.????????

Prayuth on the defense, he is normally on the attack. The screen, maybe to stop him throwing bananas or spraying all with alcohol.

No doubt wissanu, who is a strong supporter of the PM and the appointed senator rules, will have a method ready to select the new gang ready to go.

 

Sadly/unfortunately  there's a very large number of militay folks candidates for them to select from; retired generals & snr. officers, current generals etc., none of whom willl rock the boat.
