"Phichet" regrets that the second committee meeting did not make progress because some parties did not back down or negotiate, pointing out that if an agreement cannot be reached, the lottery must be drawn equally.

Mr. Phichet Chuemuangphan The 2nd Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, as chairman of the joint meeting of representatives from political parties to consider the establishment of the 2nd House of Representatives Standing Committee, said that today's meeting on the division of committees had no progress. This is because each political party has prepared the names of the committee members. that would like to be presented to the meeting But it appears that some parties have repeated goals. And some political parties refused to back down and refused to negotiate, which was the reason why an agreement could not be reached. So the meeting was unable to move forward. And there is no timeline for when the next meeting will take place. During this time, all parties will be allowed to talk and negotiate an agreement outside the round. If an agreement cannot be reached, a meeting cannot be scheduled.

“If any party does not consider the interests of the people I don't think about going in to solve problems for the people by using the committee to do the job. I'm sorry that I really couldn't come to an agreement. This matter is not difficult. Each committee will have members from all political parties. When I work, I don't think about which party I come from. But I thought I was doing it for the people. It is a pity that a compromise cannot be reached,” Mr. Pichet said.

Mr. Pichet also said that if political parties cannot come to an agreement Will a lottery method be used to resolve the issue? In which no one will have an advantage or disadvantage. All parties are equal. The same principles will be used as the Election Commission, which uses the method of drawing lots to select the number of MP candidates in order to be based on fairness. So if you can still talk, talk. If you can't talk, you must use this method. This September will end the fiscal year 2023. If an agreement cannot be reached, it is a pity that we will not be able to work for the people.

Reporters reported that for the committee that cannot be agreed upon includes Legal Commission Justice and human rights The Move Forward Party and the Pheu Thai Party want it. Transportation Commission that the Move Forward Party and the Pracharat Party want The Agriculture and Cooperatives Commission that the Palang Pracharat Party and the Kao Klai Party want.

Commission for Prevention and Suppression of Corruption and Misconduct The Move Forward Party and the Pheu Thai Party want it. Including the committee to study the preparation and monitoring of budget management. which the Kaewkai Party and the Pheu Thai Party want

This is because the main parties are still unable to divide the committee. in their own proportion causing other committees cannot be divided Because they are worried that changes may need to be made later.
