Prawit’s attendance at parliamentary meetings questioned
14 Sept 09:59 Key points summarised by AI
- Former Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit initiated an investigation into Palang Pracharath leader General Prawit Wongsuwan's parliamentary attendance by filing a complaint with the House Speaker.
- The complaint alleges General Prawit may have violated constitutional provisions and the MP's code of conduct regarding meeting attendance, which requires MPs to perform duties honestly and not miss excessive sessions.
- Prompong expressed personal observations of Prawit's infrequent presence in parliament and requested records of his leave and salary payments to verify his performance as an MP.
- This action follows complaints from taxpayers questioning General Prawit's diligence as an MP and his continued receipt of a monthly salary exceeding 200,000 baht.
