CAPO issues statement to warn senators against nominating new PM

[chainarong]

Maybe it is time for the constitution court to investigate whether the CAPO has extended its charter powers and dismiss anyone who has breached their obligations.

[tomross46]

They are just playing for time as Chalerm readies the Paratroops.

I hope they have replace the cables in the aircraft. Do not need any more deaths caused by incompetent Jump Masters.

LOL you wish! CAPO and the DSI are the cops, so the real government has thousands of cops, so many that as we have seen they can outnumber Suthep's 'protesters'; the police with help from the army (which is either neutral or in support it's DM Yingluck) have repeatedly pawned Suthep's attempts to take over government buildings, where he's managed to enter the premises for the last 6 months they usually let him in and supervise his childish non-sense, before throwing him out at a later time, like at the interior ministry, now their letting him use the waiting room and Gov. House, until his next gimmik.

you won't see his mob overrun the real seat of real power- the Office of the Permanent Secretary of Defense. The military is supporting CAPO's rejection of using section 7 to appoint a PM.

Suthep has no real support in the military, monarchy, police, lower house, and now even the courts are abandoning his ridiculous 'cause' so what does his new 'appointed' government that he has created in the waiting room at govt house have, other than the waiting room at government house?

CAPO is a toothless tiger; all growl but no bite. It has absolutely no one to enforce its ridiculous edicts. (especially since police have been killed and injured trying to enforce CAPO policy on the PDRC). Its high-ranking leaders have no official office any longer and may not be qualified for their positions. Stop laughing! Never forget that UDD, PTP, DSI, and CAPO are directly controlled by Thaksin. The military and police are aware of CAPO's powerless status. As soon as everyone else does, the sooner everyone will classify the pronouncements by CAPO to be the same as a soi dog, barking into the night; annoying but otherwise harmless.

Where are your hands at this moment ???

Easy "Carry on Constitution" starring Sydney Snot as Thaskin Shinawatra.and Madonna as Miss No luck

[Fat Haggis]

Swings and round abouts, the constitutional court already stated that the PTP had to elect a new caretaker PM after they forced Yingluck out, and now this very same court says it's okay to have the senate elect a PM?

The Thais couldn't agree on the colour of the bovine scatology that is coming from many of their mouthes !!

The new speaker elect still has to have the royal seal of approval does he not? If he hasn't is he breaking the constitutional laws himself ?

CAPO urges Senate to forget about non-parliamentary PM



BANGKOK, 14 May 2014 (NNT) - The Center for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) on Wednesday issued the 8th statement calling for a stop to the unlawful selection and appointment of an interim prime minister due to fears that it might lead to violence in the country.

CAPO Secretary-General Tharit Pengdit said the center urged the Senate as well as other groups to stop seeking an impartial premier right away. As for some Senate members who showed their support for the anti-government People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), the official said they might face legal charges and the CAPO would keep a close eye on them.

If the court approved arrest warrants for 43 PDRC leaders, the center would arrest more than 20 of them who had no personal guards, Mr Tharit said. As for PDRC top leader Suthep Thaugsuban, the CAPO would immediately arrest him if the opportunity arose.

When I see that mans head I always have to think about a balloon fish, struggling to keep breathing.Must be a reason for it.

[Scamper]

Just to be clear, CAPO now considers itself to be constitutionally empowered to tell the Senate what it can or cannot do.

[chotthee]

CAPO is an idiot.

Suthep is trying to nominate a PM, to save the country 3.8 billion Baht in another unnecessary fail election expense.

A Baht saved is a Baht earned.

The P.T.P. puppets squeak yet again being under the illusion they are in power

Indeed I think that the Thai people want peace so much that one of these days the P.T.P. caretaker government had better get out of the way and let them have it

With apologies to the late Dwight D.Eisenhower whose original quote is here below.

Indeed I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it

And yet the Thai people keep voting the PTP back into power. Must be very frustrating to the Democrats who feel that by their wealth and education, they are entitled to power. The inability of the Democrats to appeal to the majority of the Public brings to mind another Dwight Eisenhower quote:

“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.”

[Fat Haggis]

Please tell us then scamper who are the senate accountable to ? The senate are supposed to be non political are they not? But it's as clear as the nose on your face they're getting more and more involved in political matters are they not supposed to be all about checks and balances?

I guess it depends on who's writing the "cheques " then

[jennywren]

Just to be clear, CAPO now considers itself to be constitutionally empowered to tell the Senate what it can or cannot do.

Yet the seem to understand the Constitution better than the people who wrote it!!

On that not, the shambles of the current Constitution, the writers and protectors of it, along with the memories of the last Junta are enough to send a shudder even through the Military.

The whole structure of the Constitution and the Courts was to ensure the the 2006 power grabbers retained power for ever. See what a dreadful job they even managed here? Total power for 2 years and still could not get their own people into power (Abhisit and the anti Dems) with the full weight of the Courts, media and army behind them.

They have even less chance of a successful coup this time.

Just who would take orders from an appointed PM and how would they get any policies set up in the first place. Dream on all who think this could work.. Dream on

[CantSpell]

Tarit is really starting to panic.....Chalerm's pissed.......it's the blind leading here.....no-one knows what's going on......

Pretty much as usual.....and wouldn't expect much more from these people.......

There's gotta be 10 years of legal cases pending now......a laughing stock, but bad for the country!!

This is becoming like a carry on movie,any suggestions for a title?

They know exactly what's in going on: the new simili-acting told CNN:

We "Carry on, we are in control" ....

We are the unstopable....

[rebelplatoon]

Funny that they emphasize not to appoint a NONPARTISAN PM. Exactly that which could help the country out of deadlock IS someone nonpartisan. Hard enough to find, let alone with an illegal institution and an (alcoholic) fired chief of such instrument, exorting its threats.

CAPO has no jurisdiction whatsoever over the Senate. I actually think this threat in itself was illegal and needs to be followed up.

[pkspeaker]

IT IS, it's the cops; they have a right to tell the senate what they are doing is illegal. The Senate is out of session, they cannot do anything when they are not even in session, everything they have been doing since the session ended is 'informal', now they are suggesting the can appoint a PM from one of these sessions?

Just to be clear, CAPO now considers itself to be constitutionally empowered to tell the Senate what it can or cannot do.

I noticed that along with the Coup attempt that the supporters of the PDRC on here have long since descended into farce.

Each news item it packed with pointless jimbes, sneers, i'll thought out sarcastic wittisisms and no facts, no attempt to set out the goals of this appointed PM.

No substance whatever has appeared from that side of the debate for months now. Least we can be confident that there is not popular support for Suthep. Most realise that it's a minority, but a powerful minority. Lets hope they can be resisted this time for democracy's sake.

If you really believe that why are you not opposed to a party that exists only to serve the interests of one man and his clan and as a vehicle to riches for the underlings? Because after the Amnesty Bill debacle what's "right and moral" has been proven, even to the most clueless, to be completely out of the equation for PTP.

CAPO urges Senate to forget about non-parliamentary PM

When I see that mans head I always have to think about a balloon fish, struggling to keep breathing.Must be a reason for it.

And here I'd thought it was a selfie and that you'd accidentally posted here instead of at FB. I mean, I've never seen you which is fine so I couldn't be sure if it wasn't you.

The military joint chiefs met last Saturday to discuss an Article 7 action by the senate or any other body and rejected it. The military joint chiefs met before going to the Royal Palace where a reception was being held for new generals.

So Saturday Gen Prayuth issued a statement on the behalf of the Thai military chiefs saying any invoking of Article 7 was unacceptable. Gen Prayuth has one master and one master only, and the general listens only to that one master.

The next day, Sunday, a presiding judge of a major court, speaking anonymously for other presiding judges of Thai courts, advised the public that the presiding judges had rejected Suthep's proposal to them that the presiding judges confer to appoint a competing PM. The presiding judge said such an action by anyone would be in violation of royal power, unconstitutional, undemocratic.

If the foul forty of the senate along with Suthep and the PDRC insist on grossly inconveniencing the one person who determines such a matter, it would be their most serious mistake and could prove catastrophic to both Suthep / the PDRC and to the senate foul forty.

They know not what they do.

[rubl]

Newsflashy - newsflashy - newsflashy

Anonymous sources within CAPO have told us that the CAPO may issue a directive on how to avoid putting either Suthep or PDRC in a positive light. Amongst rules to be enforced might be

- only call anti-government protesters by the name 'mob', guards are 'violent thugs'.

- where possible prepend "Suthep's"

- describe appointed senators as 'foul 40', or just imperialistelite lackeys

- always stress the fact that this government successfully called the others 'terorists', 'seperatists', 'rebels'. Such names can be reused.

- tongue-in-cheeky

Yes, the PDRC types have descended into farce because they haven't any case, any argument, any legal or constitutional point they can make. All the PDRC types here can do is to gather in a big circle and jerk one another around to see which one gets off the quickest and the most self-thrilling shots.

The PDRC posters here are beginning to make Chalerm look fully qualified, in command and control, competent. (I've given the PDRC posters here a line they can run with. .)

Time has always been on the side of the government and time has proved the PDRC types to be vacuous, banal, facile. Suthep is on a fool's errand too.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other.

Use your noodle rubl.

[eggers]

Once again, CAPO is exceeding it's remit & acting in a biased manner by offering to protect Red Shirt protesters & warning Senators against seeking appointment of non partisan PM.

Certainly no even handed approach in administering Peace & Order; in fact, today's statement imay we'll be unconstitutional & illegal.

Though, no doubt the Puppeteer is still pulling the renegade leader's strings, as well as the other CAPO puppets.

Have i missed something? but when did CAPO become agency above senate?

And since CAPO and Chalerm like to use "law" in making their statements, what section of the law allows CAPO to "warn" senators?

Why? do you think senators are "above the law"?

Aiding and abetting a criminal act would be the obvious charge.

Same as belonging to a party run by a convicted felon in Dubai and going to personally meet him

So CAPO now think they are the government!

Take a step back. Look at the OP and where it s from. Even you cannot deny that The Nation has anti-government leanings. Did you notice the lack of anti-government spin? Does it tell you something if The Nation cannot spin the storey to suit their favoured position? It just might be that even The Nation cannot deny that, in this instance, CAPO is right.
