e House of Representatives, You must first consider the NACC. Do they have the authority to send matters to the Council President? He emphasized that the selection process is a matter for the Council. You will have to check for yourself how they are recruited.

Whether it is considered a personal matter or not, Mr. Niwatchai said that the complaint must be looked at with facts. That’s why he said that the NACC can be easily accused

‘Today the NACC Whatever you do, you will be objected to by the other party. That’s why I said it’s already there. One day during the meeting there were many objections. As for whether the objection is factual or not, it must be examined. Because it’s just a request. Must be fair to both sides,’ Mr. Niwatchai said.

When asked whether there was a delay in the trial of Police General Surachet or not, Mr. Niwatchai said that was another point of view. At present, the matter of the audit has not yet been considered by the committee. Still at the officer level Considered not yet affec
