Bangkok, "Rames" advises "Pichit" not to resign, fight to show that the 2 million baht bag of snacks is honest, honest, and ethical. Mr. Rames Rattanachaweng, spokesman for the Democrat Party Referring to the case of a member of the Senate (Senate) submitting a request to examine the ministerial qualifications of Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister, and Mr. Pichit Chuenban, Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office, that from the first day that he learned that Mr. Pichit had accepted the position of Minister. He was the first person to come out and give an interview to protest about his qualifications. There's nothing complicated about all of this. Which is based on Section 160 of the Constitution that a person who will be a minister must (4) have evident honesty and integrity (5) not have behavior that seriously violates or fails to comply with ethical standards. and the Prime Minister must be responsible Because the Prime Minister already knows the facts. The Prime Minister is considered to have be haved in a serious violation or non-compliance with ethical standards. Because he knows the facts well that Mr. Phichit's qualifications It violates the constitutional provisions. Mr. Ramesh said that from claiming that he had already inquired with the Council of State The truth was evident that they had not inquired about issues of honesty and ethics. This principle is the first and foremost use of common sense by the Prime Minister. A reasonable person should be able to think whether the actions of the person who is nominated to be a minister violates the constitution or not. And finally, deciding the qualifications of ministers will be the direct responsibility of the Constitutional Court. The Council of State can give its opinion. But it is not the final decision. As for what the Constitutional Court will consider, we ask that all parties not interfere. whether to order him to stop performing his duties or not It is up to the discretion of the Constitutional Court. Mr. Ramesh further said that when the Senate submitted the matter to the Constitutional Court for consideration and decision. We must respect the process of the Constitutional Court, which has discretion in deciding who cannot be interfered with. But one thing that I would like to request to the Election Commission (EC) is that I would like to submit a petition to the Constitutional Court to consider and determine the qualifications of Mr. Phichit Chuenban and Mr. Settha Thavisin according to Section 170 of the Constitution as specified. Obviously for the benefit of this The Election Commission has the power to refer the matter to the Constitutional Court for decision if it is determined that the minister's qualifications violate Section 160. Your organizations must jointly investigate to ensure transparency and honesty in the country. in order to maintain the principles of the country as well In this regard, Mr. Ramesh gave advice that Mr. Phichit should not resign. and must fight to the end To fight to show that the actions of the minister tha t the Supreme Court considers causing disrepute to the court institution It is fair and will affect trust and faith in the performance of duties by personnel in the judicial power. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to punish him in a severe place. so as not to be like this again and imprisoned as well which Mr. Pichit had to fight in the Constitutional Court To show that all of this is not true. and pointed out that all actions of 2 million bags of snacks were honest actions. Based on the principles of ethics along with having to contend with the Prime Minister that he did not know about the matter and the Prime Minister has inquired about the decree Mr. Rames said at the end that The fact that he did not want Mr. Phichit to resign This is because at least this case will prove an important issue of the qualifications of those who will be in the administration. Especially the Cabinet In the matter of honesty and integrity, this is also the country's greatest benefit. Source: Thai News Agency
