Date: May 10, 2024, Wanchai Sonsiri Prosecutor’s Office, Pak Kret District, Nonthaburi Province, Mr. Wanchai Sonsiri, Senator. Give an interview on the work of senators Appointed by the National Council for Peace and Order Before his term expires today (10 May 2024), he stated that he was not satisfied in the past with the work of senators. This feeling has been happening for 1-2 years since I accepted the position. It’s not like I just noticed it today. As you know, the origin of This group of senators was appointed by Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, former Prime Minister Senators are like the bodies of the NCPO. It only takes two people to vote or do anything. No matter what you think, you can’t change anything. Asking questions and asking various questions is considered intimidating towards the person who nominates them.

Next is the appointment of people in independent organizations. The Senate has done a fairly good job of vetting qualifications. But I have to admit that some groups It came in a way that we really didn’t want. Because freedom of action is not fully achieved. As for the big problem of this group of senators, it is to follow the continuation of national reform. But this issue has not yet had much effect. It was just a small matter. But great things that will touch people’s hearts cannot yet be achieved. I even thought about resigning from my position. But I come back to think that I still haven’t used my authority to do good. He then returned to serve in the Senate.

Because of the person who created this mechanism given that the policy of the coup government and democratic government We can continue together. during the transition period

Regarding Mr. Settha’s choice, he believes that when the Constitution gives the right to choose He followed the process. Because the Senate agreed that the party had made great progress, even if it had gathered a lot of support. But it’s not the government. but he voted for the Pheu Thai party who saw that This is a power compromise that creates just the right kind of reconciliation. Because this time he couldn’t imagine establishing a government. It will be a gathering of political parties that have staged coups. and were brought together by a coup, however, in the future government If there was still a mechanism for the Senate to choose the Prime Minister, Wanchai predicts that it would be the beginning of conflict. Because what happened before was a special condition. during the special period But such a mechanism is not really suitable for democracy, and the Senate’s choice of the Senate should not be repeated.

As for their role from now on What will happen? Mr Wanchai said he was a lawyer. He became a politician Just know some stories about this industry. From now on I will continue to provide knowledge, answer questions and analyze politics and laws. Through a live broadcast which is popular right now
