Former Thai law enforcement officials state that the Constitutional Court has no power to decide on the process of electing the prime minister. It is up to the Speaker of Parliament to decide according to the regulations. clearly separate judicial and legislative work suspect the inspector What power does it have to send to the court? Throw hot taro for fear of tour down.
Mr. Supoj Khaimook, former deputy chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) and former judge of the Constitutional Court (Tor Sor Sor.) gave an interview to "Thai News Agency" in the event that the ombudsman had a resolution to send to the Constitutional Court. Judging the process of interpreting the rules of parliamentary sessions for the election of the prime minister held on July 19, whether it was constitutional or not. Ready to ask the Constitutional Court to order the parliament to delay the process of choosing the prime minister. If it is still a judge of the Constitutional Court, it is of the opinion that the Court accepts it for consideration but may not decide. which may be hit because it is not in the duties and powers of the Constitutional Court because the selection of the prime minister is a matter for the parliament to consider how to vote It is up to the President of the National Assembly to decide according to the rules of the National Assembly.
“The power of the judiciary cannot interfere with the power of the legislature. If interfering, it will cause chaos. Which the Constitutional Court can interfere with is deciding on various bills that the House has considered whether they are contrary to or inconsistent with the Constitution or not. But this case is a parliamentary regulation. What to do is considered the power of parliament. It depends on how the parliament sees it. The word motion is a request for opinion. which must be viewed in a broad sense This follows a clear separation of powers between the judicial and legislative powers. Although the power of the judiciary is binding on all organizations. But this is not the case. In this case, the judicial power cannot be used to cover, ”said Mr. Supoj.
Former judge of the Constitutional Court noted that Initially, the Ombudsman still suspected of having a duty and has the power to refer this matter to the Constitutional Court or not Because the ombudsman is similar to a postman who acts to give advice in the event of a violation of rights. Duty of the private person, but in this case, it's about the organization. which does not fit In which the Ombudsman submits the matter to the Constitutional Court for a decision, it is like throwing "hot taro" without responsibility. and prevent problems “Tour Down”.
