People's Party Spokesperson Demands Five-Day Timeline for Government Inquiry, Accuses Cabinet of Fear and Astrology-Based Scheduling

Key summary

On October 24, Bhakom Anuanant, spokesperson for the People's Party, stated that the government must demonstrate spirit by accepting a five-day timeline for the inquiry into the administration. She criticized Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul for claiming to be too busy and accused the ruling coalition of locking in an October 27 start date based on fortune-telling rather than negotiation. Ms. Bhakom argued that the opposition has prepared content for 18 ministers and that compressing the timeline would prevent citizens from receiving a full account. She also criticized Rhomtham Khananurak, the government whip from the Bhumibol Party, for suggesting the opposition was unprepared, stating that the opposition's schedule is not subject to government control.
