People secretly submit a draft of the amendment to the constitution, the issue of ethics throughout the system, cutting the power of the NACC to investigate the ethics of MPs. The "Chief Whip of the Opposition" asks not to see that there is a conflict of interest - does not object to postponing the parliament meeting for another week, waiting for the draft of the amendment to the constitution of Pheu Thai. Mr. Pakornwut Udompipatsakul, MP for the Prachachon Party and chairman of the opposition party coordination committee (opposition whip), admitted that the party had submitted a draft amendment to each section of the group on the issue of ethics for the entire system to Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor Matha, the president of the parliament. According to the process, the details must be examined first and included in the agenda within 15 days. Therefore, he believed that if it were to be submitted to the joint parliament meeting, which was initially scheduled for September 25, it might be in time. However, in the cas e that the Pheu Thai Party is preparing to submit a draft amendment to the constitution to the parliament next week and has 2-3 days, there might not be enough time to examine and include it in the agenda. Therefore, there will be another joint whip meeting next week, which he would accept if the joint parliament meeting were to be postponed for another week. Mr. Pakornwut also said that for the latest proposed amendment to the constitution, it is about the details of the entire ethics system. He could not remember all the details, because the case involved many sections, including the use of power by independent organizations to judge political officeholders, which was too abstract. In this regard, the amendment to the power of the independent organizations, according to the conditions, a referendum must be held, which may be held at the same time as the election of provincial administrative organization presidents nationwide, as the government has set a timeline. When asked if there was an issue to cut th e part of the qualifications that required honesty to be evident, Mr. Pakornwut said that he did not close the amendment to that part, but it had to be discussed at the committee level to see what each party thought. Most used broad principles and had to consider amendments at the committee level. When asked why the party's submission of a sectional amendment to the constitution was quiet compared to other sectional amendments to the constitution, such as the cancellation of the national strategy, Mr. Pakornwut said that he was not on the drafting team and was worried that if he gave the information, it would be wrong. Therefore, he would have to ask Mr. Parit Wacharasindhu, MP for the party list and spokesman for the Prachachon Party again. When asked about some issues of ethics amendments, Pheu Thai Party stated that it did not agree because they might be considered a conflict of interest, Mr. Pakornwut said that if it was viewed that way, amendments to other issues might be linked to a conflict of intere st, and MPs would not be able to amend anything. However, for issues that are not agreed upon, the details can be discussed in the committee level to find a compromise. Reporters reported that the People's Party MPs submitted the draft amendment to the constitution to Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor through the Office of the Secretariat of the House of Representatives last week. In the initial details, the People's Party MPs who were submitted to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to investigate ethics in the case of jointly submitting the draft amendment to the Criminal Code, Section 112, did not sign it in order to avoid being seen as having a conflict of interest. In the details, the NACC's authority to investigate the ethics of MPs will be revoked. Mr. Panusaya will make a statement to the media at the parliament tomorrow (September 18).-319.
