On August 14, at the meeting room, 3rd floor, Journalists Association of Thailand, Samsen Road, Bangkok, the May 35 Family Committee and Council Group 3 held a discussion on the topic “An 8-year term of office as Prime Minister under the Constitution” By Mr. Adul Cheawboriboon Chairman of the Board of Directors of Heroes’ Relatives May 35 joined the discussion by Mr. Pisit Leelawachiropas, former governor of the OIE, Mr. Teerachai Phuwanatnaranubal. Former Finance Minister, Asst. Prof. Wanwichit Boonprong, Lecturer, Faculty of Political Science Rangsit University, Mr. Nitithorn Lumlue, Faculty of People’s Fusion and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet Donavanik famous lawyer
in one episode Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet said the interpretation of the law today We have to interpret When will Gen Prayut complete his 8-year term? According to the 2017 constitution, it stipulates that he will serve no more than 8 years in total. Cabinet under this constitution How to calculate an 8-year agenda If the interpretation is straightforward, it means that the term expires on August 24, 2022. If it is interpreted in a different way, Section 158 cannot be applied retroactively. If counting like this, it must start when the 2017 Constitution was promulgated on April 6, 2017, but this kind of thinking would be dangerous. because it will be equal to what power will be considered as Prime Minister from 2014-2017 In his view, if not counting the term since 2014, it would be strange.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet said that for the Constitutional Court In the case of receiving the matter and not completing the process by 24.00 on the 23rd of August, although on the 24th of August, you can still hold the position by law. but in de facto will be able to do it or not Because on August 26, there will be a meeting to determine the commander of the armed forces. If you go to sit as the chairman of the meeting and appoint important positions, will it be possible?
“Like a marriage If by law the marriage is void Although it can be legally reversed to be void. But can the de facto go back or not? because already married have been eating together Or have children already. If Gen. Prayut stops performing duties And return the salary after August 24 will reduce the conflict in the country. and help reduce pressure on the Constitutional Court I believe that the Constitutional Court It certainly won’t prolong the consideration for a long time.” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet said.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet said that If terminated from duty The Prime Minister can go for a run, travel or live and say that he is not working anymore, but in terms of the Cabinet, there will be 2 types of problems. Even the minister continued to perform his duties But when the minister connects with the Prime Minister When the Prime Minister leaves The minister must also be retired. might be a problem lead to questions Is the minister still in office?
“While the Prime Minister came to act It’s another issue, who will you choose? and when to maintain when there is a mechanism the acquisition of the prime minister people on the list Will you be able to maintain it for a long time? Especially Khun Anutin Charnvirakul, if there is a vote in the council can be prime minister Then why take care of it? On this matter, assuming the opposition submitted Mr. Chuan Leekpai, Speaker of the House of Representatives on August 17, he would not wait. would send it to the Constitutional Court. At this time, Bullet Sub-District falls to both Gen. Prayut, the Minister and the council as well. By the council if they do nothing Will someone bring it to the NACC to get rid of the position? Can this clue be over first? when the opposition filed It’s time to diagnose. The Constitutional Court must use time to its advantage.Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet said.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet said that there are 2 types of perspectives, if considering it physically. Wait when the incident occurs first and then submit it. that when it will be damaged cannot be healed. Previously, the court had accepted the matter that had never happened before. In the Yingluck government, where there is a correction, all senators will be recruited. At that time, someone went to file and the court. Why accept it and consider it even though the problem hasn’t happened yet?
“If it’s past August 24, can someone file a complaint or not? I think I can inform But will the police accept it or not? If not, someone will report the crime again. will be wrapped in a chain but worrisome This will affect both the economy and society. There will be people gathering. This is a drop of honey. And it might be the last straw.” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet said that General Prayut There is still another position as the Minister of Defense. Can he still perform his duties? Will the acting minister nominate the commander-in-chief of the armed forces? still an issue That’s why people told me to finish it on that day or end before that day. Otherwise, it would be like a monkey untied all the nets.
“The rally Gen. Prayut rallied, but do not spread to other matters. because the power will be reduced When you know that 3 targets, if you can destroy the middle target, then talk to the other 2 targets. Why split the power into 2 parts, leaving only 1 part of the power left. What I said may offend anyone, but I think that there is no need to amend the constitution, reform the institution, now let Chase Prayut alone It is believed that it will produce the same results as the chasing era. General Suchinda Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jet said.
