"Wan Nor", the Speaker of the House, asked to wait a little longer to go back and look at the details of the ethics complaint against "Gen. Prawit", refusing to answer whether it was appropriate or not to "slap the media", saying that he had not seen the complaint yet, indicating that the law must be considered, and which agency must be forwarded. Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor Matha, President of the House of Representatives, gave an interview about the progress of the ethics investigation of Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, a party-list MP of the Palang Pracharath Party, saying that the House of Representatives is only an agency that receives the case. Once it is received, it will be forwarded to the legal department to see the details that appear and how to proceed. The legal department will have to investigate and it is the duty of the President of the National Assembly or the Speaker of the House of Representatives to forward it to another agency, which may be the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) or the Supreme Court. The legal department will propose it again. When asked whether the legal department would propose the date of the Ethics Committee meeting first, Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor said no. The Speaker of the House did not decide on the correctness of the ethical or other laws. If the legal department considered that the demand was correct, it would have to be sent to another agency. The constitution clearly states which agency it must be sent to. When asked if society is keeping a close eye on this case, Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor said that he has not seen the petition, whether it is an ethics complaint or something else. He asked to wait a little longer. The legal department will accept it and send it to the Speaker of the House. When asked whether it was appropriate to hit someone on the head, especially a politician, Wan Muhammad Noor said that he would like to see in what capacity he was filing a complaint against Gen. Prawit. If he was a member of parliament, it would be a matter for the House of Representative s Ethics Committee. However, if he was filing a complaint about something unrelated to the performance of a member's duties or something that happened outside parliament, it might be an outside matter. He would have to see which agency to forward it to, or if it didn't need to be forwarded, he didn't know. He would have to look into the details Source: Thai News Agency
