House Panel Lacks Authority to Summon Thaksin for Inquiry
Bangkok Police Hospital. File photo courtesy: Wikipedia A House committee investigating allegations of privileged treatment afforded to Thailand's former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, during his detention at Police General Hospital in Bangkok, has been informed that it lacks the necessary authority to summon him or relevant agencies. The Department of Corrections has curtailed the committee's aspirations, stating the investigation falls outside its jurisdiction. The committee on state security, border affairs, national strategy and reform, led by opposition People’s Party MP Rangsiman Rome, claims to have uncovered 'worrying' information in a previous session, pointing to the handling of sick prisoners and standards of care in police hospitals. However, the Department of Corrections, reiterated by Somboon Muangklam, an adviser to the justice minister, indicates this overlaps with investigations already being conducted by other bodies, including the police affairs committee. Despite these constraints, the committee has extended invitations to Thaksin, Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong, and other key figures to attend its meetings. The aim is to demystify public perceptions and provide transparency over allegations that Thaksin received preferential hospital treatment. Rangsiman Rome, speaking on Thursday, urged Thaksin to clarify the situation publicly, asserting that an explanation could dispel lingering doubts among the populace. Yet, it remains uncertain whether the justice minister or corrections chief will attend the hearings scheduled for Friday. Thaksin, having returned to Thailand in August after a 15-year self-exile period, was promptly incarcerated by the Supreme Court's directive. His imprisonment term was initially set for eight years but subsequently reduced to one year via royal pardon. Notably, despite a formal prison sentence, Thaksin began his detention in Police General Hospital and subsequently walked free after securing parole, igniting criticism over the conditions of his stay, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-22 -

Your view is garbage, the so called 'Bear' attacked a sovereign free & democratic country invaded & bombed it's people. Its friends come to help, the Bully Bear was much much bigger. ...so what do you do when a neighbour kicks in your front door & points a gun at you? ...drop to your knees & cry ?? Get back in your hole, try to grow a brain at least, or better still enlist in the Russian army & join Putin's War ... -

You could be correct. The 1% would like that. I refer you to the speech in the "War Room" in Dr Strangelove, where someone comments about how only the best looking women would be permitted in the government survival bunkers.- 1

Musk & Ramaswamy Unveil Detailed Plan for Federal Workforce Cuts
I wish them well in their quest to reform a bloated bureaucracy. IMO many departments would work better with 70% less managerial staff.
