“Senator Somchai” urges the Election Commission to expedite the investigation into the selection of senators.

Parliament, "Senator Somchai" threatens that the whole group of senators will be jailed for sure. Suggests that they quickly confess and be spared as a witness, urges the Election Commission to speed up the investigation after finding that many provinces show signs of selection criteria, saying 149 people are just the iceberg. The main cause was found to be the law that allows children to not be able to choose for themselves. Mr. Somchai Sawangkarn, Senator, as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Human Rights, Liberties and Consumer Protection, spoke about the case of revealing information. "The group of people chose the Senate" and there was a national list of 149 people who said that the news came from a raw source of information that they thought was responsible for checking the selection of the Senators and wanted them to get it. Senators who represent all 20 professional groups with honesty and fairness and be honest as the Election Commission wants, replacing his own senators will have no worries. and is a new form of Senators who choose among themselves He has follow-up information and will bring it up for discussion at the committee meeting today. So that everyone can participate in following up to get a senator according to the spirit of the law. It's not from a scam. The issue of this post has been sent to various groups, both on social media and in the media. It is an ongoing issue that has been raised since Samut Sakhon Province. that different professions define the wrong group For example, the salt farming group went to the rice farming group. Do those people really have 10 years of experience? And there are other careers, such as gas station attendants applying to be energy representatives or village health volunteers who receive 12 hours of training but apply to the medical group. It takes up to 6 years to study. If selected, Will your duties be different from your real career? And he has also received reports from some areas that there are applications in the water industry. Using the qualificat ions of being a village water management committee member This has led to an example being given that if this is the case, can security guards stationed at the court apply to be representatives of the legal team or not? The real person must come out and say that these rules Born from the constitution by selecting senators. newly detected that there is a problematic section that allows people to be brought down There was a hustle and the blocking of votes, namely the Organic Act on the Selection of Senators, Sections 40, 41 and 42 (3) which were written to tell voters to choose at the district level. Province and country You can choose yourself. That means you can not choose, which opens the door for the people hired to choose everyone else. It is considered a violation of the spirit. that are not open for applications to become voters But to apply to become a senator, and the campaigner said that there were too few applicants, more than 48,000 people, he thought it was against the spirit. Because it is equiva lent to conscripting people to choose. And before this, there was also a campaign for 1 family, 1 person sent to give up 2,500 baht each to become a Senate vote, which has no section of the constitution. Written to be a senator and personally protested for many months but the Election Commission never stopped and came out to stop it, causing some senator candidates to say they were willing to pay the money. To want to choose a good senator Mr. Somchai is of the opinion that the assignment of various occupational groups is good, but he sees some discrepancies. In the details of the features He received quite a lot of information, for example, there were applicants to lead at least 2 women's groups, from different provinces, wearing the same clothes. Photo of the same shop And then there is also a group of chicken farmers. It was found that the photos were taken from the same shop. But in different areas If the Election Commission goes to investigate, it may find suspicious things like this. that people have s ent thousands of stories to him, so these are the stories District-level Election Commission must screen Should not be allowed to apply Because the applicant already knows that You yourself have no qualifications. Then lying to a hired worker to apply is punishable by imprisonment for 1-10 years, a fine of 20,000-200,000 baht, and disqualification from voting for 20 years, including those who certify qualifications. Mr. Somchai also said that now information has been found that some applicants have certified themselves, with pictures of transporting people from entire villages. by the party having an interest I'm going to come and block the votes. All of which is because The law provides an opportunity to do so. And if these behaviors are passed through selection at the district level to the provincial level Then there will be a channel to the national level. Because you don't have to choose yourself. In the provinces where suspicious matters were found, they are Samut Sakhon, Phetchaburi, Saraburi, Buriram, Sisaket, Satun, Songkhla, where there have been complaints but have not yet been seen. Election Commission reaction that there is an inspection Secretary General The Election Commission stated that it must check if anyone did not choose themselves. It is considered to be a scam, Mr. Somchai said. How can I check this because it is a yes vote? If you want to know, it means it's not a secret. And it is considered illegal because it revealed the voting results. And the law still allows You can choose other people as well. 'In summary, 149 people are just the tip of the iceberg of the movement's problems. I never identified and never cared about the name. those people and did not check who you were Will the information be accurate or not? It will be a statistical check. Or is it a hoax? I asked the Election Commission a question to answer whether it had been examined or not. that it has a flaw of the Constitutional Act Concerning the acquisition of senators or regulations of the Election Commission Or was there really a hoax or voting block? and asked the media to act on behalf of the people in investigating this election of Senators. We also ask the Election Commission to perform its duties in a straightforward and detailed manner. We believe that we have already found the news,' Mr. Somchai said. Mr. Somchai said that in addition to the issue of 149 people who need to be examined, there is also the issue of academics having calculated statistics on the proportion of applicants that 53% of the total number of applicants, more than 48,000 people, or approximately 25,000 people, came from being hired to apply. If it is found to be true, it will be considered an offense. punishable by imprisonment There is clear information that a young man from Nakhon Si Thammarat confessed to the Election Commission in the area. which is legal Can be a witness Then must continue to request using the power of Section 77, using the basic offense in bracket 1 in the matter of providing property. Or hire and girl to the mastermind Beca use he confessed that local politics made him apply. which can use the Money Laundering Act By sending the matter to the Secretary of the Anti-Corruption Commission. Check the financial path If it is found that something is wrong, action must be taken and the Election Commission should perform its duties completely. Do not just rush to have a council. Then there will be problems later. As for Mr. Seri Suwanphanon, Senator, he thought that there might be a collapse of the board in selecting Senators this time. Mr. Somchai replied, "It's your matter. It's not my business,' along with stating another personal belief that the inspection will affect the selection of senators. Go correctly and don't fall. But if you let it go Let the selection reach the final level at the national level. He doesn't know who will benefit. Because the offense will continue to succeed and there will be more than 20,000 people involved in committing the crime. Different karma, different agenda Because they were hired at the village le vel, when they received punishment, they had to count their punishment according to their karma according to their schedule. If left unchecked, it will cause problems for villagers and become victims of politics. Therefore, I leave it to the people. Whoever goes for hire to apply to elect a senator, they think they risk breaking the law and will definitely go to jail. All committee members and the media are following along. At that point, no one could help. The political party cannot help. Therefore, please notify the Election Commission in the area, the Central Election Commission or the media by having the Election Commission use Section 65 as a witness. and let the Election Commission examine it so that the results can be obtained Senators who are qualified and straightforward, don't have to think about what they're going to do. Because there's not much I can do. But let's do it correctly. Source: Thai News Agency
