Government Criticizes Opposition for Delaying Impeachment Debate Schedule

Key summary

Dr. Ekpop Peian Suesak, spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, stated that the government has offered to extend the impeachment debate period from three days to four days, yet the opposition requested five days specifically for this week in October while asking for only four days in November and December. The government noted that 18 ministers are under scrutiny and must attend meetings, citing a packed schedule of national and international events in November, including APEC and ASEAN summits. Dr. Ekpop suggested the opposition may be unprepared with data or internal coordination, noting that the Prime Minister's Office has already provided 48 hours of additional time compared to the previous administration.
