Reader Briefing

Pannika Wanich clarifies that the process to bring Anutin Charnvirakul to clarify issues in Parliament followed the legal procedures of the Summoning Power Act.

  • •Pannika Wanich addressed news reports claiming Rangsiman Rome admitted there was no resolution to summon Anutin Charnvirakul.
  • •The action taken on November 5 was a resolution of approval for the committee chair to use power under Section 13 of the Summoning Power Act.
  • •The process was initiated because Narucha Khosawilai, Director-General of the Department of Provincial Administration, failed to appear after being summoned.

Overview

  • •Pannika Wanich, an advisor to the Law Committee, posted on Facebook regarding news headlines claiming Rangsiman Rome showed hesitation regarding the summons of Anutin Charnvirakul.
  • •The Law Committee had previously used its power to summon Narucha Khosawilai, Director-General of the Department of Provincial Administration, who did not appear.
  • •Because Narucha Khosawilai did not appear and the Ministry of Interior did not issue a follow-up letter, the committee chair used Section 13 of the Summoning Power Act to notify the Speaker of the House to call Anutin Charnvirakul to clarify the matter.
  • •Pannika Wanich stated that the resolution on November 5 was not a direct summons of Anutin Charnvirakul to the committee, but a resolution of approval for the chair to act under Section 13 of the Summoning Power Act.
  • •Tawee Sodsong clarified in the meeting that the committee chair did not strictly need a resolution to act under Section 13, but requested one to show respect to all committee members.
  • •On November 13, Pannika Wanich clarified the sequence of events to counter reports that the chair, Rangsiman Rome, had conceded the lack of a summons resolution.
