People’s party to challenge qualifications of new ministers

13 Sept 09:41 Key points summarised by AI

The opposition People’s party intends to challenge the qualifications of several new ministers during Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s policy statement to parliament.
Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut stated that some ministers are currently under investigation by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), raising questions about their suitability for Cabinet positions.
The People’s party will independently scrutinize the government, potentially discussing debate time allocation with the Pheu Thai party but not coordinating on content.
The new Cabinet is scheduled for an oath-taking ceremony on Thursday, after which the Prime Minister will deliver the obligatory policy statement to parliament by October 1st.
