webfact Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Chalerm says Yingluck still caretaker prime ministerBANGKOK: -- Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO) director Chalerm Yubamrung insisted today that Ms Yingluck still remains the caretaker prime minister even if the House cannot convene within 30 days after the February 2 election.Citing Article 172 of the Constitution which stipulates that the prime minister must be chosen within 30 days of the convening of the House, Mr Chalerm said that the 30-day timeline for the election of the prime minister is yet to start because the House is still unable to convene and, hence, the prime minister will continue to serve in the office.Mr Chalerm’s confirmation of Ms Yingluck’s status came in wake of the opposition’s challenge of the status of her premiership by petitioning the Constitution Court to rule on the issue.The labour minister also cited Article 93 of the charter which requires the Election Commission to complete the holding of election within 180 days so that there will be at least the House will be represented by 95 percent of the MPs to make a quorum for the holding of the first meeting of the House.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/chalerm-says-yingluck-still-caretaker-prime-minister/ -- Thai PBS 2014-03-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ricardo Posted March 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yes you can, It's up to the Constitutional Court to rule on the issue, and former-DPM caretaker-Labour Minister Chalerm is not part of the court, is he ? So "Mr Chalerm’s confirmation of Ms Yingluck’s status" means diddly-squat, until the Court agrees or disagrees, it's only his personal opinion. Not that he's biased, in any way, or also affected by the decision himself ! 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yunla Posted March 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2014 And while they continue to squabble and hang onto power in this lockjawed way, another day dawns on the unsafe roads and in the unattended basic needs of the masses. If they put all the energy they put into staying in power and toppling each other, into infrastructure and regulatory reforms, this nation would have been a world leader ages ago. So much misdirected energy from all the political players, it is actually breathtaking really. And the poor normal people keep struggling on in adversity, made a hundred times harder by the very leaders elected to improve living standards for all. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ManofReason Posted March 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) MORN I don't watch Bluesky, and have no reason to. You've conveniently managed to avoid though all the other points mentioned previously. Corruption charges - plenty of accusations but it's the number of CONVICTIONS that counts and as of this moment to government has been found guilty of exactly ZERO. Delayed Rice Payments - Pretty much caused by Sutheps' antics in the street, now almost resolved (probably the main reason the Yellows attention is now focused on the secession red herring). Notice the lack of farmers in the streets - basically problem solved. Secession threats - red herring, if the Yellow nutters weren't ranting about this they would have nothing to say - they've lost every fight/argument they've been in to date. YInglucks' low key, non confrontational management of this insurrection has utterly destroyed the Yellows. Murder charges - This is where it gets truly ridiculous. Some unidentified thug fires a grenade into a crowd, killing innocents, and you somehow think Yingluck is responsible. May as well charge her with beating up and robbing the Danish tourist in Sukhumvit the other day. Murder charges = drivel. Fire up that TV, tune in to Bluesky - you'll have a front row seat to the end of days for this anti-democratic minority mob.

See now why the constitutional court needs to be involved. Not that any of that matters with the impending negligence case coming up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 3. February 4. March 5. April 6. May Followed by 30 days to choose the PM 7. June If I'm not mistaken, June is followed by........ The only negligence the constitutional court needs to investigate here is the mathematics in your post. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
