Samak Might or Might not do Something
The Office of Prime Minister’s Office Minister Chusak Sirinil has denounced frequent media reports that he and federation partners have agreed to disband parliament and call fresh elections as soon as parliamentarians complete constitutional amendments. He said a snap vote would be “the last resort” and would be a verdict that would have to be made by the person in charge of the People Power party (PPP). That is Mr. Samak. He went on to dismiss public concern voiced by the Doctors Network, saying charter amendments are obligatory and for the country’s best interests. He said the government was prepared to listen to advice, but will need to thrash out the issue amongst the six alliance party leaders to find a termination to the issue.
Thai Election Commission (EC) chairman Prapan Naikowit urged all sides to judge the charter amendments carefully to avoid any conflicts. On behalf of the EC, he supports the idea of forming a full Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) and calling for public contribution to the process.
Some newspapers reported on Wednesday that Mr. Samak and influential persons of his five federation partners have agreed to use their majority in parliament to bring to a close debates on amendments on their own, and then to call a new election. The only person authorized to dissolve the House is the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Samak is unpredictable in both speech and action. Stay tuned for more nonsense.
Samak Might or Might not do Something.
