Chusak” cited the reason for postponing the discussion of the amnesty report because he was waiting for the results of the discussions from all parties, but had not yet set a date for the discussions. “Wisut” said it was necessary to seek cooperation with the coalition parties, and did not want to create an image of conflict.
Mr. Chusak Sirinil, Minister to the Prime Minister’s Office and Government Whip, revealed that this week, the report of the House of Representatives’ Special Committee to Study the Approach to Enacting the Amnesty Act will still be postponed because they have to wait for discussions with all parties to reach a conclusion. Because it is understood that at present, there is a draft law that various political parties have proposed to the House. At this time, no date has been set for discussions with relevant parties. However, the postponed matter must be discussed together first.
As for the part where many sectors are calling for the House to urgently consider the report to lead to the e
nactment of the amnesty law, Mr. Chusak reiterated that they must discuss it together first.’
Mr. Wisut Chainarun, Pheu Thai Party list MP and government whip, said that the committee report will be postponed to wait for discussion with the coalition parties to be clear. In the past, he admitted that he had only listened to the opposition but had not yet talked with the coalition parties. Therefore, it is very important to seek cooperation. He does not want there to be a case where there are conflicting issues when the report is submitted to the parliament.
‘Currently, there is an issue regarding political parties submitting draft legislation for the House to consider. Therefore, it is necessary to create mutual understanding first. It is expected that next week there will be clarity on both the report of the committee and the draft legislation. As for what has not been discussed this week, it is because the senior members of each party are not available. They have to go to the area to help people affected
by the floods,’ said Mr. Wisut
