Mr. Chatchai Na Chiang Mai, former spokesman for the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) and professor at the Faculty of Law, NIDA, spoke about the qualifications of Mr. Pichit Chuenban, who was previously convicted of contempt of court and sentenced to 6 months in prison but was positioned as a minister, saying that this matter is pending. at interpretation which he considered that Mr. Pichit had been imprisoned Contempt of court This is a punishment that does not go through a normal trial. It should not fall under Section 160 (7) of the Constitution, but under Section 160 (4) and (5), it should fall under the category because of the case of dropping snacks and being ordered by the court to violate the jurisdiction of the court. Including the Lawyers Council canceling Mr. Phichit's license. It may be considered a violation of ethical standards as a lawyer. and standards of conduct in court, therefore, it is a matter for the person and those involved to examine

“I don't think it should. Because it is clearly written that this section It is a section that we wrote in order to screen out people who are truly clean and qualified to be ministers that we can rely on. Because he has to use state power. It is one of the 35 people who must run the government. Must express opinions and reach consensus. We need people with qualifications. Have knowledge and ability and most importantly Have a good mind with no blemishes. Therefore, this matter was established in Section 160 and if this issue is not considered in terms of ethical standards. I think that will create pressure. causing a feeling of dissatisfaction from undermining the stability of the government because credibility is important If he doesn't trust him then it will be difficult to manage,” Mr. Chatchai said.

I think that in principle it is partly correct. But in terms of practice, in the first minute of assuming the position, there are matters that must be considered. Even though I have good advisors But having personal experience Have good judgment and look at all sides. Knowledgeable and able to use good and appropriate judgment. It is important. Some of whom have never interned or worked with a minister before. He felt worried. Because the Thai bureaucracy is complex. And perhaps the consultant is not accurate. can cause damage

Mr. Chatchai said that if we look at political issues, we must accept that he was elected by the people. Choosing who to be a minister is already the responsibility of his party. But as citizens, we can't help but worry. But looking at the faces of some of my names who have gone to certain positions, I can't help but worry. How to continue what he has done Especially the Minister of Defense Military and foreign affairs Because the current situation is not normal, there is a lot of pressure from many sides in many countries. This Cabinet must not administer in the same way. It must not focus on dividing party quotas. But in the end, I would like to encourage the elected government. Let's work together. believed to survive

“We take a lot of risk in international matters. Because our home is not normal. There's a lot of pressure no matter who you're with. China has come, India has come, America has come. Whether it's trade, military, technology, there's a lot of pressure. It's not just a matter of giving away policies and campaigning. Make people interested in digital money. or various wages, but these things have no meaning at all If we cannot manage our sovereignty To be able to coexist with international tensions,” Mr. Chatchai said.
