Sompong Amornvivat, leader of Pheu Thai party and the opposition coalition, accused Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha of failing to manage the country, abuse of power, conflict of interest as well as involvement in corruption on the first day of the censure debate on Monday (February 24).

 

He said the premier had abused his power for the benefits of his own clique and failed to solve economic problems and corruption.

 

“Thailand posted growth of 1.8 per cent in 2019, the lowest rate in the past five years, according to Kasikorn Research,” he said, adding that " farmers’ incomes have plunged to a seven-year low while household debt has reached the highest level in history”.

 

The premier said he had been accused of many wrongdoing, but was never angry.

 

“Thailand is a democratic country under the constitution , while I and all members of parliament were elected by the people,” he said.

 

On being accused of not adhering to the principles of a democratic government, the premier he was concerned with corruption and vowed to solve the problem.

 

In responding to abuse of power, he said he had never violated someone’s right, or ordered anyone arrested without evidence .

 

Also, the Prime Minister said that Section 44 of the Constitution is not meant to persecute officials, but to solve an organisation's problems, citing the International Civil Aviation Organisation.

 

He also said that he had not given any special benefit to anyone and used populist projects to help low-income people.

I want to punch Cha Cha in the throat as much as the next guy.

 

But if you are going to accuse someone of something, bring some solid evidence or proof or it will just bounce off.

 

This guy is protected from the highest level. 

 

Sticks and stones...and all that.

One of the most pathetic things from yesterday's debate was apparently his little military chumps kept demanding that other politicians refer to him as General Prayut, and not Mr Prayut.

 

Even though he is now meant to be a democratically elected civilian PM (????), he still expects to be known as General. What an absolute bootlicker. 

He never saw battle. Is as cowardly little man. Who in fact purchased the rank. Total goose.

Another "Thailand is going to hell in a bucket" post. People were saying that 30 years ago, but Thailand's economy keeps advancing and diversifying.

 

Indeed. The supreme arrogance of some continues as many so called first world western democracies decline.
