Patcharawat Grilled Over Repeated Absence From Weekly House Meeting

[webfact]

 

NATURAL RESOURCES & ENVIRONMENT Minister Patcharawat Wongsuwan was yesterday (Feb 29) grilled on the House floor for his repeated failure to attend a weekly interpellation at parliament.

 

During yesterday’s House interpellation session, Move Forward MP Chutipong Pipoppinyo produced a poster featuring a portrait of the natural resources & environment minister with words saying “Wanted – Only Alive” to sardonically grill the Palang Pracharath cabinet member virtually as a criminal of sorts for his repeated absence from the weekly House meeting where he could have otherwise responded to inquiries about his dutiful performance.

 

Yesterday was the fourth time in a row that Patcharawat has failed to attend whilst the Move Forward lawmaker was evidently frustrated with a long-delayed, unresolved issue pertaining to the sought-after containment of wild elephants, especially those roaming in wooded areas of the eastern region, which, he confirmed, could practically hold the Palang Pracharath minister accountable.

He has the common Thai lazy gene; by doing nothing he can never be wrong but still gets paid.

Be careful........ defamation looms.... This man Patcharawat wants the money not the job

[Artisi]

Well, in this own small mind, he is very important and special and really doesn't have time for such  trivialities as attending parliament. Might be time to declare his seat vacant and call a by-election.

This guy could be the first politician to realise and accept that all of the meetings are a waste of time.

They only generate hot air, increased debt and 'major infrastructure projects'.

Former Police Chief and brother to a coup maker on a Wanted Poster, quite cheeky
