Do not leave space for the opposition to examine important committee members. to check work It should belong to the opposition party to monitor the work of the government. So that checks and balances between the government and the opposition are also possible. But that's not the case at all.
When asked what do you think since the NACC Commissioner is not on the opposition side? But went to stay with the Pheu Thai Party. Mr. Chaithawat said that in fact it should be a practice tradition. In the parliamentary system, important committees that is a check on the administrative department, such as the budget monitoring committee And the NACC commissioner should belong to the opposition. But now it is certain that the budget monitoring committee belongs to the Progressive Party. But the question is society. Expected investigation of corruption and misconduct become the government It may be difficult to expect, but he understands because of many past governments. The Chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Commission is also on the government side. Throughout the era of Miss Yingluck Shinawatra, she was a Pheu Thai seat. During the government of Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, the Democrat Party sat. But it turned out that during the government Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha was also more generous in allowing the opposition to come see this committee.
When asked at today's meeting, it seems that if you go too far you have to retreat. Both the NACC Commission and the Decentralization Commission And the Labor Commissioner, Mr. Chaithawat, viewed that the issue of decentralization and labor It is considered a policy that the Progressive Party gives importance to. But it has become a demand that overlaps with the Bhumjaithai Party. In fact, there has been discussion for several days about whether it is possible to take a step back. By choosing one for each person Unfortunately, the leaders of the Bhumjaithai Party did not back down.
Mr. Chaithawat said the Kao Klai Party agreed to allow it to continue working ahead. with political restrictions The party must do its best. After this, the 11 committees that have been acquired must be discussed in detail.
When asked if it could be said that today we were mobbed, Mr. Chaithawat said, "Let's not say that at all." You must understand the actual situation.
When asked if he was sorry that he was disappointed today and looked at his stressed expression, Mr. Chaithawat denied that he was sorry. Because he understands political reality The starting atmosphere of this council should be better than this. What rules were once customary? What has been agreed upon in past parliaments should be adhered to. Not looking to see that this party is the number 1 party, I don't want it anymore. He thinks that working in the House of Representatives There will be a bad atmosphere.
Mr. Chaithawat also said that if one day he is the government We also want to promote a mechanism for verification. Including the tradition of selecting directors, however, we will do our best.
