“Natcha” points out that 7 measures to solve the problem of black-chinned tilapia are not the answer.

Parliament, Meeting of the subcommittee to solve the black chin tilapia problem. The legal organization sent a representative to join the discussion, without the name of "Wissanu Krea-ngam". Prepare to discuss the damage value, expected to total more than ten billion. Prepare to invite "CPF" for the 3rd round after seeing good potential. Announced that will cooperate with the government sector. As for "Natcha", pointing out that the 7 measures do not meet the needs because society is already doing it. Insisting that no one will be whitewashed. When the subcommittee's duties are over, someone must go to jail. Announced that will seek the committee to find the truth of the Ministry of Agriculture after the 7 days that promised to the people are up. Mr. Natcha Boonchaiinsawat, MP for Bangkok, Move Forward Party, as Vice Chairman of the Subcommittee to Study the Causes and Solutions, Including the Impacts of the Importation of Black-chinned Tilapia, announced before today's meeting that the Office of the Attorne y General, Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Council of State were invited to discuss the damages caused by the outbreak of Black-chinned Tilapia. All three units sent representatives to provide information about environmental laws that can be prosecuted. Meanwhile, Mr. Wisanu Krea-ngam, Advisor to the Prime Minister, did not attend. Mr. Natcha said that what we saw today must be tackled to the root cause. Today, we will conclude all the legal issues that the subcommittee will send to various agencies on what the Department of Fisheries, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Natural Resources will do next. As for the assessment of the damages, there is a clear example of only one sub-district, estimated to be around 100 million baht per year, but today it has spread to 17 provinces that have not yet been assessed, and each area has a different damage value. If combined, it could reach ten billion baht. Mr. Natcha also mentioned that Charoen Pokphand Group Co., Ltd. will sue the media and fou ndations that disclosed the information, arguing that the best place to present the facts is the House of Representatives. He has already emphasized that all social problems come from the meetings of this subcommittee. If anyone wants to argue or make the truth known to the public, they should come and provide information to the committee. Meanwhile, government agencies are happy to compare recorded information, which will help clear up doubts for the public. While in every press conference, the company said that it was willing to provide information to the government, which we have already asked for cooperation 2 times, but the willingness has not been received. Therefore, if they are willing to support the government agency, we saw the news and were willing to invite them for the 3rd time. However, I would like to consult with the chairman of the subcommittee first. Mr. Natcha continued that today many parties have gone to the area, including the government sector, which has been heavily involved. Today, it was at Saem Dam, Bang Khun Thian District. However, apart from going to the area, the people are still waiting for the government's 7 measures, which use a budget of 450 million baht to solve the problem, which he sees as not being as effective as it should be because society is already doing the 7 measures, including catching, hunting, and processing. But what they are waiting for is the cause. This has not been heard from the administration at all. There has also been no declaration of a disaster zone to give CPR to farmers who are dying every day. Mr. Natcha confirmed that the subcommittee is serious about solving the problem, not whitewashing the private sector. Today, we want to solve the public's doubts. When there is a misunderstanding, there will be conflicts. The only thing that can be done is to reveal the truth. There is only one truth. If the truth is revealed, we will know who is the root cause and will relieve the anger of farmers who are in a state of poverty. However, when the work of the subcommittee ends, there will be those who will be prosecuted, including the Ministry of Natural Resources, which is responsible for the ecosystem, the Ministry of Agriculture, whose customers are farmers, the Ministry of Interior, which is in charge of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, which has not yet provided disaster relief to the people, and the Prime Minister, who must sit at the head of the table to solve the problem. Do not let there be accusations like the illegal pork that the Prime Minister took action on at first. He emphasized that illegal fish will definitely not end like illegal pork. Mr. Natcha asked about the truth-finding committee in the 7 days that was set up by the Minister of Agriculture. Today, 7 days have passed. I would like to find the truth-finding committee first, and then the truth will be revealed. I would like it to be clearer because right now the truth has not been revealed. This will allow the public to see how sincere the government is. Source: Thai N ews Agency
