Govt Whip calls for more specific information in opposition’s censure debate

The Government Whip Chairman has called on the opposition to be more specific in its information during its censure debate while assuring that a committee would be established to oversee debates.

Chairman of the Government Whip Chinaworn Boonyakiat spoke in the occasion of the opposition’s threat to submit its no-confidence agendas this Wednesday, March 11, requesting that the opposition presents more specific details in its claims against members of the administration than in the past if it is bent on such an action.

Meanwhile, Mr. Chinaworn concurrently voiced confidence that the government's work over its brief period in power has not yielded any flaw that can be exploited by the opposition. Nonetheless, he said the Whip is forming a committee to monitor the opposition's censure debate and to create correct understanding among the public in case of the opposition’s provision of groundless evidence or distorted facts.

The Whip Chairman added that, upon the opposition’s proposal of no-confidence agendas on March 11, the censure debate should be able to commence around the end of this month. Regarding the Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva’s planned visit to foreign countries, he assured that the premier has arranged his schedule with the possible debate in mind.
