Bangkok: The deputy speaker of the House of Representatives has issued a stern warning to the opposition, stating that failure to amend the current no-confidence motion could lead to uncontrollable chaos within the legislative meeting. Mr. Pichet Chueamuangphan, First Vice President of the House of Representatives, expressed concerns about the inclusion of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's name in the motion, emphasizing the potential for disorder if not addressed.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Pichet highlighted the complexity of controlling a meeting when an outsider's name is part of the motion. He warned that failure to amend it might result in individuals speaking freely, leading to a lack of accountability if any damage occurs. The presence of Thaksin Shinawatra's name, he argued, could complicate proceedings and potentially result in legal actions against those responsible for the motion, including those who proposed and approved it.
Mr. Pichet further questioned whether such a motion, focused on personal matters, serves the country's interests. He suggested that a more constructive discussion on administrative corruption would be beneficial. Despite his warnings, the opposition remains steadfast in their decision not to amend the motion, a stance that will require further discussion.
