‘Wissanu’ expected that the government in August closed the way to the prime minister, outsiders said it was difficult

Wissanu expects the government this August, but still can't work, because the cabinet was set up before waiting to hear the constitutional court's decision, clause 41, nominating the prime minister again, closing the prime minister's way Outsiders told me that it was complicated and complicated in many steps.

Mr. Wissanu Krea-ngam, Deputy Prime Minister Referring to the case where there was an argument that the Ombudsmen had the power to submit a decision to the Constitutional Court on the 41st Meeting's Articles of Association whether it could nominate Mr. Phitha Lim Chareonrat Member of the list of MPs of the Kao Klai Party can enter the 2nd round of the Prime Minister selection process or not, asking not to answer on this matter. When the Ombudsman pointed out must respect him When the inspector sends it to the Constitutional Court for a decision, it must wait to hear from the Constitutional Court.

Regarding postponement of the Prime Minister's vote For the third time on July 27, it was normal and heard that the council it will be postponed which is correct But how long will it be postponed? In the meantime, this is temporary protection. It's up to the Constitutional Court to order. which he thought the Constitutional Court would not take long Because it's a legal problem. It's not a matter of fact. but must give some time for the other party to clarify

When asked whether the parliament would have to wait for the Constitutional Court's ruling or not, Mr. Wissanu said it was up to the court to decide whether or not to give a temporary order.

The calendar for the prime minister and the government When should the least delay be possible? Mr. Wissanu said Just this move, we still feel troubled, can't stand it, anyone who thinks to move for another 10 months, which if moving, probably won't be much. He is also optimistic that in August. will get the government, but may still not be able to work Because the cabinet must be set up and took an oath of allegiance including policy statements

However, if you really can't find a solution, Is there a possibility for an outsider prime minister? Mr. Wissanu said that it is possible, but very difficult, because in order to have an outsider prime minister, Section 272, paragraph two, must be used, which requires the vote of 500 people first and also requires the vote of 376. Another person is chaotic, complicated, many steps, no one thinks of reaching that step.

When asked if after August, what preparations would the acting government have, Mr. Wissanu said that there was nothing to prepare? Because the appointment, transfer can be done, but must seek approval from the Election Commission (ECT). He was worried that there would be retired governors in many provinces. In which he said that he proposed the appointment as usual and went to seek approval from the ECT. As for the budget, use the mid-2022 budget for the time being, both in terms of budget, salary and compensation. As for making new projects, it cannot be done, including proposing a budget law to the council if the council has it. Questions must be answered

When asked to reiterate whether he had ever encountered a political situation like this since he served, Mr. Wissanu said that he had been in the period of government rotation 11 times, each time different. which is not like today's problem But it will be thrilling. And we thought it was bad, but it wasn't bad, and we got over it. .
