Pheu Thai MP Criticizes Govt for Assenting to Outside Influence

A Pheu Thai Party MP lashes out at his own government, saying that it is subjected to outside manipulation which is preventing it from performing properly.

Pheu Thai Party list MP Prakiat Nasimma said the Yingluck Shinawatra government is totally impotent in solving political and economic problems, as well as the flood crisis even though has the power and public support.

He added that this is because the true commanding authority belongs to a person outside the Cabinet, whose main objective is focused on amending the Constitution and securing a royal pardon.

Prakiat noted that even the Prime Minister herself can only give orders based on given cues, while Deputy PM and Interior Minister Yongyuth Wichaidit once expressed discomfort about overlapping duties among agencies and officials.

He added that some cabinet members are bickering with each other, while some ministerial secretaries seem to have more influence than the ministers themselves.

The Pheu Thai MP went on to say that while it is generally understood that Thailand is a free market economy, it is, in fact, an oligopoly with investors determining prices and farmers just being the suppliers of raw materials.

He added this is why more than 40 million Thais remain poor and the government's populist policies are simply weakening them further.

Prakiat said at this moment, there is no way to fix this except to wait until the current administration completes its term.

He insisted that he is just expressing his opinion about things that he thinks are wrong, as an individual who has freedom of speech.

Someone sensed he was about to lose his portfolio.

Go out with a bang, rather than a whimper.

But it is good to see the cracks emerging in Yinglucks house.

[SunDaRi]

Good one, The Puea Thai would have my respect if it has nothing to do with the Shinawatras.

Trojan Horse? Placed by whom?

Cracks in the facade for sure.

And yes he is not taking one for the team but slagging the couch.

Looks like he KNOWS he is toast anyway so get in a few licks.

Maybe he couldn't come up with the buy in price demanded for this version of Thaksin Proxy Cabinet 2

Prakiat deserves a new medal for that.

What I noticed was how short his nose is

While most other MPS in the present government seem to have very long noses

But wow the PM has a wopper

[Jawnie]

Yet another piece of slanted and dishonest reporting by The Nation. How on earth could such a newspaper legitimately report comments criticizing an administration in power for less than 6 months, blaming them for 40 million impoverished Thais? Hahaha....that did not happen in the last 6 months, but during all previous administrations. YL just inherited they doings. Pitiful.

So are you saying people on the site are too thick to understand the subtleties of the comment, or the comment is too subtle? I for one understood where he is coming from and I am sure many others did as well.

Are you suggesting that a PTP MP didn't say those things and didn't criticise his own party and leader?

Dude, you really need to learn how to read English or at least understand better... he's not putting the guilt on this government for the 40 million poor people, he's just saying this administration can make them poorer or increase that number.

And I really don't see why the Nation in this case is reporting badly, they're just publishing comments from a MP. Your comments are very biased, jing-jing!!!

Can a different government do better? no idea, maybe yes, maybe not. But still, that doesn't stop anyone from giving his opinion, even more if it's a person self-criticizing his own party and government. Good for him.

Have a god day everyone!

Learn to read, "remain poor" is not the same as "become poor".

Go back to your Red shirt rallies, really if Democracy was a game you would be winning! and if not you could always burn down more buildings! yay

[wxyz]

he is just saying what everybody knew already

Thaksin is the PM by proxy via Yingluck

[KKvampire]

He needs to watch his back now, No public criticism of Yingluck by PTP MPs. it's sacrosanct

Edited December 13, 2011 by KKvampire

[EvilDrSomkid]

Refreshing to see a PTP MP criticizing his own party.

Calling it like it is. Amazing candor from a politician.

Wonder what Chalerm's response will be, if any.

Oh and Jawnie: <deleted> man...

[sausageandmash]

Yes, she certainly seems to be floundering. Maggie Thatcher she ain't! And THAT is what this country needs, a strong leader to clean up Thailand, rid it of corruption, change the cultural thinking from being reactive to being proactive, and really bring this country into the 21st Century.

Our beloved Khun Noppadon Pattama, a legal counsel, is also somewhat challenged in the proboscis department, but he has never had a problem getting the boss's attention I believe. Some might refer to certain of his ilk as "brown-nosers".

The question ought to be "Does he have room for anymore"?

However, joking aside, he has my sympathy and admiration for having the cojones to speak out against the family.

[otherstuff1957]

Well, I hope that he has another career option! Because that will spell the end of his political career with PT.

Did you even read the article? The Nation was just reporting what the PT MP said. Are people with red colored glasses blind or simply not too smart as to even understand a simple news article?

Just a perception management post trying to slant the dialog off topic.

This in my opinion is the main 'meat' of this report, but resolving why these 40m people are in the situation they are, I suspect is going to mean a lot of 'middle-men' between the farmer and the shops, losing out. Just how you go about ensuring that the farmer, gets a better share of the money, is a problem faced in all countries, because meddling/hiking with the price of foodstuffs customers pay, is political dynamite, regardless of the colour of the Party.

[slapout]

footloose; most countries have a competitive system, so the farmers have several choices as to who they sell to. For this to happen you need infrastructure, as well as break up the monopolies, price collusion which is so apparent

This MP and those with similar thoughts, would be a vast improvement if they were given the authority to shut down the stampede to the trough as well as the other shortcoming of the entire system.

What is his portfolio?

[geriatrickid]

Now that the usual gang has rushed to embrace this man's statement that was somewhat twisted out of context, does this mean that they also accept the allegations in respect to Thaicom and the alleged profiteering of Messrs. Abhisit and Korn? As I recall, there was quite a stink in September 2010 when he apparently offered his views on that subject. Messrs Korn and Abhisit were not too pleased with the connotations at the time.
