Political News
The no-confidence debate in the parliament is the hottest topic today as all issues related to the mismanagement of the Covid-19 situation was raised by the opposition.
Issues raised pinpointed corruption, mismanagement, and miscommunication by the government of Prayut Chan-o-cha.
The Phue Thai party came out to question many things including why Thailand was paying such high price for subpar Chinese vaccine – Sinovac and where did the money go that was approved for the procurement of the vaccines.
The government had given permission to spend no more than $17 per dose and guess what all purchases were made exactly at that price even though the number of doses purchased continued to rise and usually the more one buys the cheaper the price per unit gets.
There was discrepancy of just over 2 billion baht that was unaccounted for.
Even the procurement that took place was far more expensive than other countries as Phue Thai showed how Thailand’s procurement was more expensive for Sinovac when compared to Indonesia where it cost 460 baht while for Brazil it was at 337 baht against Thailand paying 556.24 baht.
Prasert Chantaruangthong, a Pheu Thai MP for Nakhon Ratchasima, discussed the discussion. Gen. Prayut and Health Minister Anutin Charvirakul have no intention of joining the United Nation’s COVAX program because these people want to buy low- quality and expensive vaccines that benefit only private companies.
He then opened documents from government officials, Ministry of Public Health, which specified that the purchase of 5 Sinovac vaccines lots with a total payment of 8.75 billion baht. The difference was 2.098 billion baht, which the Cabinet has approved the purchase at a price of $17 per dose, but the actual purchase price is between $9-15 per dose.
The question raised was where did the difference of 2.098 billion baht go?
The breakdown of the purchase prices for the purchase are listed below
1st purchase, the actual purchase price is $17 per dose. 2nd purchase, the actual purchase price is $15 per dose.
3rd purchase, the actual purchase price is $14 per dose. 4th purchase, the actual purchase price is $9.5 per dose. 5th purchase, the actual purchase price is $9 per dose.
Issues were also raised about the procurement of the Antigen Test Kit (ATK) which the government signed off on Monday with the contentious company and again Chinese maker – LEPU.
The 8.5 million ATK purchased by Thailand was shown in the parliament by a Pheu Thai MP who is a doctor who said that stem to insert the testing equipment in the nose was not long enough to go deep inside the nasal chamber to check for the virus.
Gen. Prayut came out to say that the use of LEPU was okay as the WHO has only given guidelines for use of its approved ATK for use in medical field only, not for home use, while Thailand’s requirement is for home use.
Meanwhile Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit came out to say that the price of ATK in the market has gone down by as much as 20%.
On the lighter side of the debate Pheu Thai leader – Sompong Amornvivat in the opening remarks of the debate called Prayut – Prayut Yongchaiyudh (using Prayut’s 1st name and former Prime Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh’s last name)
He called Gen. Prayut as Chavalit 2 times before correcting himself and apologizing.
During the debate the Pheu Thai party came out to say that it will take the documents it has and file a case against the government of Prayut with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and then take the issue to the courts to ‘put Prayut in jail’.
Dr. Cholanan Srikaew, Pheu Thai party’s MP for Nan province, came out to call on the people in the parliament to pay respect to the 11,589 people have lost their lives due to the mismanagement by this government.
The debate is set to continue today and tomorrow with a planned voting on September 4th
To put pressure on the government of Prayut various groups have called out to hold protest over the next 3-days.
September1st is the protest by Ramkhamhaeng Network for Democracy near the parliament.
September 2nd and 3rd is the possible overnight protest by ‘Car Mob’ movement organizers –
Nathawut Saikua – former Red Shirt leader Sombat Boonngamanong – the initiator of the ‘Car Mob’ protest
September 4th is the REDEM protest by the student movement at lumpinee park area.
Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra came out on Clubhouse last night and called on the people all across the country to go and tell their constituency MPs to not vote for Prayut and his coalition ‘or else they will lose their seat in the next election’.
This Thaksin said would pressure on the MPs to rethink their strategy and possibly help the MPs change their current stance that may be to support Prayut.
Thaksin said that Prayut should not make Thai people any weaker, but instead try to make them stronger.
Thaksin said that the best way to revive and make the country stronger is to raise the vaccine numbers and undertake more proactive testing and prepare the medicines will all help the people.
Commenting on the move by Prayut to go to Chulalongkorn Hospital, Thaksin said that this was a good move that Prayut followed Thaksin’s recommendation, but Prayut now needs to go to smaller and rural hospitals as that is needed in order to push things to move faster in the rural areas where the virus is spreading at a faster rate.
Thaksin had about 2-monhts ago recommended Prayut to get out from his WFH mode and go visit hospitals to see how people are being treated.
Thaksin also took a shot the slowdown of vaccination during the weekends, saying that the country seems to be taking a break like Prayut takes weekends off by going to play golf, even during this pandemic.
“He loves to go playing golf during the weekend and that is not the way to do things, he likes to go to clubhouse but a different clubhouse than I do,” Thaksin said.
Thaksin also warned the continued use of force by the Prayut administration may put him at risk as the students could take the case to ‘World Court’ to complain, and even though there are countries that have not been signatory to being in the World Court, their leaders have been tried as history has shown.
Former Pheu Thai party member and now member of ruling Phalang Pracharat party (PPRP) – Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, has come out to file a case against the Phue Thai party for issuing a directive to all its party members not to break ranks and vote against Prayut government in the ongoing censure debate.
The move, Ruangkrai says, is in breach of the constitution that allows MPs to vote freely and not be bound by any directives of a political party.
If the Election Commission take up the case, it could be that the Pheu Thai party’s executive committee may be barred from running in the next elections.
Meanwhile the Criminal Court has ordered not to take up the case of Sureerat Chivarak, the mother of Parit Chivarak, aka Penguin, who had filed a petition on August 25 when she had asked the court to order the shifting of Parit to be treated at Thammasat Hospital after Parit had contracted COVID without symptoms.
The court considered that from the letter of the report on the results of the examination of the correctional hospital, the correctional hospital less symptoms Therefore, the requester is not allowed to raise the request.
There are talks that are ongoing that has prompted many quarters in the parliament and political circles that the smaller parties are already playing their game to get their pound of flesh.
As part of their move to vote for Prayut and his 5 ministers who are being grilled in the parliament, the smaller parties are asking for positions to convince them to take the PPRP’s side.
PPRP’s secretary general – Thammanat Prompao, has been tasked with the negotiations
Meanwhile reports have emerged that Prime Minister Prayut sent a LINE message to his Deputy – Prawit Wongsuwon, asking him why the smaller parties are not going to vote for him even though Prayut has worked head for the country.
“Why did the MPs not support me, what was the reason, what was wrong with me, and what if they did not support me? Who will be the prime minister? I'm working so tired. And who will it be?”
