Revealed that there is a lobby for the Senate to withdraw their names from the debate on government policies, along with calling them into the grading room, urging them to do their homework and debate well, hoping to create a good image in the eyes of the public. Reporters reported on the signing of senators to debate the policies of the government of Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, the Prime Minister, in the parliament meeting on 12-13 September that General Kriangkrai Srirak, the first vice president of the Senate, announced that from the time that the senators were allocated for the debate, a total of 4 hours and 30 minutes, and there were a total of 57 senators who wished to sign up to debate, giving each person approximately 5 minutes to debate. It was reported that the signing of the senators to declare their intention to debate the policy required the senators to specify the issues to be debated in order to set the topics in order of appropriateness. Before this, there were more than 70 senators who wa nted to exercise the right to debate, but later they withdrew their names because the time they were allocated was too little. As a result, the number of senators who will have the right to debate has not yet been clearly concluded. Mr. Yukol Chanawatpanya, a senator from the elderly, disabled, ethnic groups, and other identity groups, stated that he had signed up to debate the government's policies, but found that more than 70 people had signed up, and some people spoke to ask for consideration to withdraw their names. After thinking about it, the 4-5 minutes each person gave might not be enough to speak comprehensively and to the point, so he withdrew his name. He stated that after the senators signed their names, a meeting of the debaters was called, and they were instructed to do their homework well so that the debaters would be the face of the Senate and create a good image for the upper house. They also had to show that they were capable of debate, because the debate on government policies was broadcas t live for the public to watch. While Ms. Nantana Nantawaropas, a member of the media group, gave an interview that she is one of the senators who will debate government policies, with an emphasis on the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. She was not aware that there was a request for the senators to withdraw their names from the debate, but admitted that when signing, the ministry or agency that will be debated must be specified. She understood that this was the management of the Senate Secretariat to facilitate the management of the debate only. Source: Thai News Agency
