CAPO: no disrespect meant for independent agencies

BANGKOK, 18 April 2014 (NNT) - The Center for the Administration of Peace and Order has confirmed that it did not overstep the bounds by releasing yesterday’s statement regarding cases against Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

The CAPO has asked the Constitutional Court and the National Anti-Corruption Commission not to exceed their authority in the cases against Ms Yingluck. CAPO also expressed concerns that there could be bias and double standards against the prime minister in those cases.

National Security Council chief and CAPO member Paradorn Pattanathabutr said that the statement was only to caution all relevant parties to try to bring the political situation back to normal as soon as possible.

The CAPO is also set to seek His Majesty the King’s advice if the cabinet is suspended by a looming court decision. Mr Paradorn said it was the only viable option to end the tension.

Paradorn - Thaksin's longtime associate - and the man at the centre of the Tawil transfer case, the very same case that is ironically the basis of the Constitutional Court's deliberation - is trying to distance himself from the outrageous directive to the National Anti-Corruption Commission and the Constitutional Court in CAPO's release yesterday, directives that come close to contempt of court. Paradorn's " clarification " :

" ...the statement was only to caution all relevant parties to try to bring the political situation back to normal as soon as possible. "

The Constitutional Court is now apparently a " relevant party " who is now being " cautioned " to bring the political situation back to " normal " ( as only Pheu Thai could apparently define it ). That is not the function of the Constitutional Court. The function of the Constitutional Court is to interpret the law. The Constitutional Court is not a political body. It is a legal institution. And it is not only a legal institution, but a constitutionally empowered institution - the highest court in the land. Paradorn's apparent reference to Article 7 is as inappropriate as Suthep's. Only the Constitutional Court can suggest Article 7 be pursued, and if they do so, they will spell out the proper constitutional path as they see it. By airing this opinion now, Pheu Thai again undermines the authority of the court, as it has yet to deliver its ruling.

what a load of bullsh*t, they are simply trying to threatern the courts and using their position to do so. All this does is show the people exactly how corrupt the ptp is, they want the courts to quell all cases against the ptp/reds so they can continue to destroy the country at their leasure.

[Pimay1]

There is no way Paradorn could be biased or have double standards is there?

Other posts in the civil service and police have gone to Thaksin loyalists including Paradorn Pattanathabutr, who was made secretary-general of the country's National Security Council and this month said Thaksin was "like a brother".

[issanaus]

WOW, Is it just me that reads it as if the CC dismisses the caretaker government they will be seeling a Royal decree to be the new care taker government????

[NongKhaiKid]

" CAPO confirmed it did not overstep the bounds ( sic ) by it's statement " so they have pronounced judgement upon themselves and the verdict is Not Guilty.

In other countries the courts might well have the final say.

[Artisi]

Considering who is in charge (when sober) of CAPO is enough to make it very clear what was meant and why.

[WhizBang]

So there. All is well, no harm, no foul.

Only a fool would believe anything these clowns say. But the intent was crystal clear.

Yep - a great example of Shin style justice and democracy.

They make all the rules up as they go along. When they break any, they judge themselves not guilty and move on.

This guy has no business still being connected with NSC or CAPO but hey, he's like a brother to big T.

PTP - above the courts, the law and the people. Yeah for Thaksin democracy!

[bulekee]

Sorry if this is off topic,but can someone tell me why there is a quota on likes to posts,call me old fashioned if you like,but I was brought up to have as many opinions as I liked.

[chainarong]

The courts are employed to interpret the law , the police are employed to carry out the law, the CAPO is neither , so their opinions or positions, unless directly under CAPO charter rules and regulations , should be carefully thought out , contempt of court , interference of court officials , intimidation of court judges, all bring server results and do nothing to help the issues that the PTP has found themselves in.

I couldn't agree more. There are so many great posts on here and it's galling not to be able to recognise all of them.

My person view is that CAPO is trying to set itself up as a viable alternative government should the CC make a decision that the whole cabinet goes with Yingluck. As there would probably be violence (very likely because Mr C has predicted it) that as the security coordination committee they are fully capable of taking on that role. Guess that they got carried away yesterday and committed the Ko Tee offence of saying in public what they were thinking.

[Lupatria]

bring the political situation back to normal as soon as possible...

I'm an old man now. Maybe it's due to my age that I can't remember when that would have been.

[smedly]

both this thread and the other one that this one is referring too have left me completely speechless and shocked

what authority does this group of idiots have to make such statements - funding should be withdrawn with immediate effect and CAPO should be disbanded for extreme stupidity

[MaxLee]

CAPO: no disrespect meant for independent agencies

Yep, that's right,... no disrespect intended,... only backstabbing killing intent of vengeance planned in advance, to be discussed in Hong Kong with the REAL Pheu Thai Leader...

If she goes so will you right???? thanks god

The statement is entirely appropriate. The legitimate government is being ambushed by these "born to rule" thuggy elites. The Senate wants to meet urgently to appoint another crony to the NACC. What a gall.

Idiot. Do you think any supposed government owned by a convicted criminal fugitive that lies, cheats, and acts illegally can be called legitimate.

They gave up any semblance of being a real government a very long time ago.

Stop pretending this is some romantic valiant fight for freedom, justice and democracy - if only. It's a gang headed by a crook that's been caught once too often trying anything and everything to get away with it.

Anyone who thinks they are legitimate really needs to examine reality much more closely.

These are harsh words, Baerboxer! But, hard as I try, I really can not disagree with anything you said.

What they are saying is normal is Thaksin and his cronies being above the law. So yes back to normal is correct.

[issanaus]

The edict to attend the meeting, the purpose of the meeting and the statement that was made just shows that CAPO is intoxicate with the power they think they have.

If the cabinet is removed from office without rescinding the Internal Security Act, presumably it remains in force and the CAPO remains in place to enforce it. However, it's jurisdiction extends only to Bkk and some districts of Nonthaburi and other surrounding provinces. Its budget needs approval from the Electoral Commission.

Yes, I believe that you are correct

However the actions and statements of Capo over the last couple of days indicate that they believe that they have the right to extend beyond what the act said, probably beyond the powers of a caretaker government and maybe even further than that. The statement in article relating to a section application to HRH, The King - would also support the contention that their ambition extend further than the Act that spawned this organisation.
