Senate President Mongkol Surassajja Uncertain About Addressing Election Commission on Collusion Case

Bangkok: "Mongkol" does not know whether he will personally explain to the Election Commission about the collusion case between the Senate or not. Mongkol revealed that the extraordinary Senate meeting on 29-30 May, he did not know if there would be a request to postpone the consideration of the independent organization position or not. It is a matter for the members because some senators have collusion cases. He declined to answer whether he would explain to the Election Commission himself or not.

According to Thai News Agency, Senate President Mongkol Surassajja said about the extraordinary Senate meeting that the meeting will be held on May 29 and 30. Some members want to withdraw the agenda to consider the independent organization positions because some senators have been accused of colluding in the selection of senators. Mongkol said that he had no opinion. As the president, he cannot express his opinion on the matter under consideration. As for postponing the agenda, that is a matter for each member's opinion.

As for the agenda, it is done according to the regulations. As for whether to postpone or not, it is a resolution of the meeting. As for whether to ask questions in the meeting, it is a matter for the members.

As for whether members will raise this issue to ask for a resolution in the meeting, I don't know. The time hasn't come yet.

As for the explanation of the allegations in the collusion case for the selection of senators, which the EC sent a summons to his home, whether he will travel there himself or not, Mr. Mongkol said that he did not know.
