webfact Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Srettha Thavisin. FIle photo courtesy: Wikipedia Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has tested positive for Covid-19 and is advised to rest until next Wednesday, June 19. The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the diagnosis late last night, revealing that Srettha has been feeling unwell since Friday, June 14. Health Concerns and Precautions According to Chai Watcharong, the spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, Srettha consulted a doctor who confirmed the Covid-19 infection. The physician has recommended he rest and isolate to prevent further spread of the virus. Srettha expressed regret over any possible exposure to those he has met and urged them to undergo testing if they exhibit symptoms. Upcoming Constitutional Court Ruling Coincidentally, the Prime Minister faces a crucial court ruling on Tuesday, June 18, regarding an impeachment lawsuit filed by 40 senators. The Constitutional Court might order his suspension, which could prevent him from addressing the House of Representatives on the 3.75 trillion baht 2025 budget legislation scheduled for the following Wednesday. Potential Interim Leadership Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai may serve as acting prime minister if the court orders Srettha's suspension. Known as a close associate of Pheu Thai boss Thaksin Shinawatra, Phumtham may also have to address the House on the 2025 budget bill if Srettha remains indisposed. Allegations of Constitutional Violations The impeachment case alleges that Srettha violated the constitution and ethical standards by appointing Pichit Chuenban, a former lawyer for Thaksin, as a minister. Chuenban, sentenced to jail in the past for attempted bribery and contempt of court, has since resigned under pressure. Additional Legal Battles on the Horizon The Constitutional Court is also deliberating two other significant cases on June 18. One involves the potential dissolution of the Move Forward party for allegedly undermining national rule by advocating changes to the lese majeste law, Section 112 of the Criminal Code. The other case questions the constitutionality of the triple-tiered election of 200 senators nationwide. These legal battles highlight a critical period for Thailand's political landscape, with the outcomes likely to have significant ramifications. -- 2024-06-17 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Another soap opera in the making or does the PM get the "fast track" Covid version? Remember something of milking arriving foreigners for six digits amounts getting locked into hotels with extremely lousy food some time ago. Or was that North Korea and not Thailand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
