He said the draft amendment to the constitution regarding the ethics of MPs and ministers has entered the parliament. It is under investigation. Waiting to decide on the date of the meeting of the 3 whips. He pointed out that everything must be balanced.
Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor Matha, President of the National Assembly, spoke about the case of filing a petition that the MP election was not honest and fair and asked for it to be void, will it cause politics to be stagnant or not? He said that it is in accordance with the election law. When the EC announced the results, it has been more than 1 month and the petition has been examined for more than 1 year. Requesting an investigation is normal, whether it is a request to investigate a general election or a request to investigate a by-election.
As for the petition to amend the constitution regarding the ethics of MPs and ministers, Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor said that some parties have already submitted this matter to the House. The House is currently reviewing the details and including it in the meeting agenda. If it is an amendment to the constitution, it will be a joint meeting of the two houses, but there must be a meeting of the whips of the three parties to consider the allocation of time.
For the amendment of the constitution regarding the ethics of MPs and ministers, there have been accusations that it is an amendment for their own party and may be the final law of the Pheu Thai Party. Will it ultimately be a cause of conflict? Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor said that as the president of the parliament, when a law is proposed to the parliament, the president should not express his opinion whether he agrees or disagrees. It must be a matter for the parliament, but everything must be balanced with each other, a balance of the benefits of the people and a balance in the enforcement of the law.
