“Thaksin” goes to Pheu Thai for normal matters.

Government House, "Warawut" stated that it was normal for "Thaksin" to go into his "daughter's" workplace to discuss work matters. If you compare yourself to something, consult "Kanchana, your older sister." It's not a domination. Emphasizing that no one has talked about cabinet adjustments yet. Mr. Warawut Silpa-archa, Minister of Social Development and Human Security Gave an interview before the Cabinet meeting regarding the case that today former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will join the Pheu Thai Party, saying that if I remember correctly, former Prime Minister Thaksin is the father of the Pheu Thai Party leader. If the father cannot go to the child's office It would probably be abnormal. And most importantly, the Pheu Thai Party is an old party that former Prime Minister Thaksin took part in building. 'So it is considered normal. to go and greet close friends who have worked together before Therefore, it does not have to be a political issue. There is no need to join the Pheu Thai Party. If it c auses a ripple effect Wherever there are people of Thaksin's level, they can create ripples. There is no need to go anywhere,' Mr. Warawut said. As for whether it will be viewed as party domination or not, Mr. Warawut said that in his case, Ms. Kanchana Silpa-archa, Advisor to the Minister for the Ministry of Defense, is the sister of the minister. Thaksin is also the father of the party leader, so he probably won't dominate the party. Because it is believed that Ms. Pae Thongthan Shinawatra, leader of the Pheu Thai Party Have good judgment and have the potential to work reasonably well. But having any problems or discussions with your father is no different from having to consult with your older sister during work. Believed to be normal in the family that must be discussed As for the news about the cabinet reshuffle (Cabinet), Mr. Warawut said he heard the news from the media. But in the Cabinet, no one has talked yet. But by tradition If you want to adjust the cabinet. The leading party such as the Pheu T hai Party must invite party leaders to discuss together first, confirming that at this time there is no discussion. Source: Thai News Agency

House, Thawee points out that Thaksin is active in politics. Not included in the prohibition of conditions of suspension Told to report to the Probation Department as usual.

Thawee Sodsong, Minister of Justice Referring to the case of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister will travel to the Pheu Thai Party office This afternoon (March 26) will make it a social issue. And is it a political target in the general discussion according to Section 152 of members of the House of Representatives or not? That would be a discussion similar to Member of the Senate (Senator), but there may be more intense content. As for whether it will make society suspicious or not, Pol.Col. Thawee said that normally we use it according to the guidelines of the Probation Department. This case is still considered to be under the conditions of the Department of Corrections. The correctional institution cannot reduce the sentence for anyone. But there will be a process called penalty administration, such as suspension of sentence, use of another prison. Where the correctional law and ministerial regulations stipulate that hospitals are other detention facilities. As for probation, there will be prohibitions and restrictions, such as prohibiting prisoners from visiting each other. Do not get involved with drugs. As for other matters, there are rights and freedoms. These are matters that the Probation Department must take care of. As for Mr. Thaksin will travel to join the Pheu Thai Party Will it violate the terms of the suspended sentence or not? Pol. Col. Thawee said that the Pheu Thai Party is considered a political party and is not subject to the prohibitions of the Department of Corrections. But it is in the Probation Department's regulations for reporting. Going to meet someone who is not involved In writing the ministerial regulations at that time, he did not write about politics. When asked about the standards of the judicial process, How to explain? Pol. Col. Thawee said that it must be clarified that the justice process must follow the principles of the law. And the constitution says to follow the law. If we act outside the law, it is considered an arbitrary act. Because in the law there are rules. However, we must respect the law because of this law. comes from the drafting of National Legislative Assembly (NLA) 2016, which stipulates that health care facilities It is considered a detention center. I just bring it into practice. 'Correctional law, if you look carefully Correctional officers have almost no power at all. For example, suspension of sentences is written into the law. There should be a committee to suspend punishment. The committee will have the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. and government officials from the agency Including the court of justice. If we accept the rules, we must follow the law. If acting outside the law It is considered that the rule of law is not followed,' Pol. Col. Thawee said. The Department of Corrections will warn Mr. Thaksin. Let the axle go down a bit. in the movement because it is a social trend. Pol. Col. Thawee said that we respect opinions. And diversity of opinion is a good thing. But the Ministry of Justice has no duty to interfere in personal matters. Carrying out only responsible duties When asked about the past, there have been politicians who have been suspended. And come out to move like this or not? The Minister of Justice said that each year tens of thousands of prisoners are suspended. Only the media didn't follow through. 'I view Mr. Thaksin's behavior as normal. Because from last night's report Mr. Thaksin went to report as usual and complied with the conditions of his suspension,' Pol. Col. Thawee said. As for whether social criticism of the Ministry of Justice's work is troubling or not, Pol. Lt. Col. Thawee said he would like it to be separated separately. Ministry of Justice Working in the duties of the Ministry of Justice I'm not worried ab out anything. Yesterday was the 133rd anniversary of the Ministry of Justice. What we will strive for is reducing inequality. has been made possible for everyone to receive universal justice Which defines justice is an abstract matter for some people, but the big issue right now is that we have to follow the constitution. and follow the laws that have been established As for the various rules That is unfair must be corrected, but in the end it must be given to the House of Representatives. The 2017 Constitution is a parliamentary work that comes from appointed people. In particular, most of the people in the House of Representatives yesterday were the ones who drafted this entire Corrections Act. Source: Thai News Agency
