A few days ago, 40 members of Thailand's upper house submitted a petition to the Constitutional Court, asking the Constitutional Council to rule on whether Thai Prime Minister Saitha's appointment of Piji as minister of state violated the charter, and hoped that the Constitutional House would remove Prime Minister Saita-Minister of State Piji from his post. On May 18, the event ushered in a new development.
According to a number of Thai media sources, Thai Prime Minister Saita, who is visiting abroad, was interviewed by reporters in Italy on May 18, and when talking about the above matters, he responded that members of the upper house must perform their legislative duties, which is the responsibility of the upper housekeepers, and there is nothing wrong with this move, but he himself must also prove that what he did is legitimate and legal, and he has said earlier that he has consulted the Council of State before Piji was appointed as Minister of State.
Saita said that everything is based on the right principles, he is confident that he can answer all questions, it is undeniable that the audit department also has the responsibility to carry out the investigation, which he accepts, but also needs to see if there is a causal relationship between the two, and the follow-up investigation is the responsibility of the Constitutional Court, and he will not show up to speak, because it is fully in line with the Thai legal mechanism.
As for Piji's appointment, Saita stressed that he did not ignore any of the opposing voices and that he had been discussing it, and he believed that Piji had done the same, and that he had consulted the Council of State, which was what should be done. He never ignored all the doubts and objections, and as he always said, these were very important.
It is understood that the term of office of the members of the Thai upper house will end in the near future, and the election of the new upper house members has been reopened a few days ago.
