House Panel Lacks Authority to Summon Thaksin for Inquiry
Justice Ministry Uneasy Over Second Thaksin Inquiry Summons Picture courtesy: Daily News The Ministry of Justice and the Department of Corrections have formally requested Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, Speaker of the House of Representatives, to resolve jurisdictional concerns regarding a second summons by the House’s Committee on National Security. The inquiry focuses on former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s hospital stay during his incarceration. At a press conference on 21 November, Somboon Muangklum, an adviser to the Justice Minister, stated that the Ministry aims to cooperate fully but questions the committee's authority. He highlighted concerns over overlapping responsibilities with the Police Affairs Committee, which has already conducted investigations into Thaksin’s treatment at the Police General Hospital. The Department of Corrections has expressed reservations, citing three main reasons. First, the National Security Committee's mandate, as defined by the Constitution, does not cover this matter. Second, the issue has already been examined by the Police Affairs Committee, raising concerns about duplication of effort. Finally, independent agencies like the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the Ombudsman are already investigating, reducing the need for further parliamentary oversight. The Justice Ministry has communicated its concerns to the Speaker and the committee, referencing legal provisions and parliamentary rules. While the National Security Committee has summoned over ten officials, including the Justice Minister, for a hearing on 22 November, it remains unclear whether all will attend. Somboon indicated that attendance would be at the discretion of each individual. When asked if the absence of officials might be construed as an attempt to conceal information, Somboon dismissed the notion, citing ongoing investigations by the NACC and other bodies. He also denied allegations of preferential treatment for Thaksin, noting that scrutiny of his case is extensive. The issue of overlapping inquiries has drawn attention to broader questions of committee jurisdiction and efficiency. Somboon reiterated the Ministry’s willingness to cooperate within appropriate legal boundaries while emphasising the need for clarity in parliamentary processes, reported Daily News. -- 2024-11-22 -

Ellen DeGeneres Relocates to the U.K. After Trump’s Election Win
Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out, and please make sure to renunciate your US citizenship. That's hilarious, has she been keeping up on the "political climate" of the UK recently? -

Gaetz withdraws from AG
Since Gaetz didn't need to resign from congress to take up the cabinet post we can only conclude that his reason for doing so was to escape publication of the report. Gaetz didn't have to resign from Congress to serve in Trump's Cabinet, said David Lublin, the chair of the government department at American University. If he returns to Congress now, Gaetz will lose all of the seniority he had amounted from serving since 2017. https://www.axios.com/2024/11/21/matt-gaetz-house-seat-special-election-ag-withdrawl -
