Chulalongkorn University analyzes Big Tu, explains the 8-year knot, keeps an eye on the Constitutional Court, picks 158, which paragraph decides
It is also criticized in the case of the opposition coalition. Submit a petition through the President of the Council to the Constitutional Court to consider the 8-year term of Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-ocha, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. Recently, Deputy Prime Minister Witsanu Krea-ngam stated that the legal team submitted evidence to refute the statement, starting on August 24, 2014.
On September 3, Mr. Sutin Klangsaeng, a MP for Maha Sarakham, Pheu Thai Party (PA) as chairman of the Coordinating Committee of the Opposition Party (Opposition whip) gave an interview that the court would have to use its own fair discretion. without having to consider anyone’s feelings I want everyone to think and believe that the court will take into account the intent of why it is necessary to enact the 8-year term of prime minister and to prevent any problems. And today is it entering the time of problems that everyone is worried about? If everyone thinks of this principle, the answer is not difficult. The intent of this draft is to not want people to be prime minister for more than 8 years by any means or starting from when. If it reaches 8 years, it is dangerous. Therefore, when considering this intention and looking at the principle of reality General Prayut How many years have you been prime minister? Everyone counts the numbers.
When asked Do you agree with the point that Mr. Wissanu said that he did not specify in the statement when the 8-year age should start, but only pointed out that it was not on August 24, 2014? Mr Sutin said. The spirit of the law that he feared would accumulate power, networks, influence and political succession. It’s been since 2014, so I think the person who doesn’t count 2014 is the person who took the letter as Mr. did not take the intention of being a master But the law must take the will as the master. Not taking the book as Mr.
Mr. Rangsiman Rome, the list of MPs And a spokesman for the Progressive Party (Kor Kor) gave an interview that Writing a statement like this means that General Prayut want to stay long It is contrary to the image that I want to tell the society that I don’t want to stay long. because now the state of being addicted to power If you look with fairness The law was written to prevent monopoly of power, therefore, the term of office of Prime Minister must be counted since August 24, 2014, counting the day as the first day that Gen. Prayut sent a legal team to write a statement like this. In conclusion, during the year 2014, what happened to Gen. Prayut? I don’t understand why alchemy has to interpret the law differently in order to contradict the facts.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Siriphan Noksuan Sawasdee Lecturer at Department of Government, Faculty of Political Science, Chulalongkorn University gave an interview that General Prayut This must be clarified already because it is a clarification that he can continue to be Prime Minister. The opposition party’s filing asks Is General Prayut out of office as prime minister? but did not ask the Constitutional Court to decide when to start counting And when it expires, therefore, the Constitutional Court must have an answer according to the request. Therefore, they may answer when to start counting. Gen. Prayut’s explanation did not confirm when to count. because it was given to the power of the Constitutional Court But refute the opposition’s point that it hasn’t been since 2014 for any reason.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Siriphan continued that If looking at this point of view, it would be the reason for both sides to use the Constitution, section 158 paragraph four, or section 158 paragraph two and paragraph three, that is, use the same section, but they are different, because section 158 paragraph two says that the prime minister is elected by The House of Representatives, but in 2014 it came from the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), not from the House of Representatives, while paragraph three says that the Speaker of the House is a counter to the royal command appointing the Prime Minister, but in 2014 the Speaker was not a substitute. royal decree
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Siriphan said that As for the opposition party, continually referring to Article 264 of the Constitution and referring to the memorandum of Mr. Mechai Ruchuphan, former chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC), did not know that the legal department’s statement had responded. or explain to Mr. Mechai’s opinion? The next issue is the Constitutional Court. Which paragraph of Article 158 will be chosen as a reason for certification?
Every ruling can be explained by the Constitutional Court. Because paragraphs one to paragraph four of Section 158 are not entirely related. Paragraph four says that whoever becomes prime minister can only get 8 years, while paragraphs one to paragraph three. Said that the Prime Minister of the 2017 Constitution must have a source like this The principle is that when the constitution is promulgated, it is effective immediately. That is, if he has been prime minister for 6 years, he will be prime minister for only 2 more years. This is an international principle, depending on what section the Constitutional Court will pick up to support its ruling.
