“Somsak” denies being behind “Samart”, advises not to divert the issue

'Somsak' counters 'Piya', denies being behind 'Samart', chasing different timelines, confident that he is a zero percent angel, advises not to divert the issue away from himself, points out that when working together, there is no harm, worries that casting a wide net and getting to know anyone will be wrong. Mr. Somsak Thepsuthin, Minister of Public Health, gave an interview about the case of Pol. Lt. Gen. Piya Tawichai, spokesman of the Palang Pracharath Party, referring to the appointment of Mr. Samart Jenchaijitwanich as an assistant minister to the Ministry of Justice when he was the Minister of Justice, linking it to angels, saying that there is no angel involved with me. It is zero percent. There are people trying to fabricate or divert the issue. If the steps are in order, it is not related at all. The events that happened, counting the days, the matter entered the committee in 2022, it was when he left the Ministry of Justice and then resigned from the party or the party told him to leave. I don't k now and it is not related. Trying to divert the issue to this or that, if it comes directly to me, it is a waste of time because it is not related at all. I have already clearly answered. It is better to spend time caring about other issues. It is not like anyone who knows someone will be damaged. Diverting the issue to that person or that person to save yourself, I will not do it. Mr. Somsak added that the Ministry of Justice is a source of complaints for people. Anyone can come and go, but they must be good people and do good things. When people know each other and work together, it does not mean that if one person does something wrong, the other must also be at fault. A little touching does not cause a quick electric shock like electricity. If someone has been doing something or where, they do not follow up and do not know. However, there was no damage to the collective work during that time. The incident occurred when filing a complaint with the Consumer Protection Board in 2022. When asked if there was any legal action regarding the online lottery being mentioned, Mr. Somsak said that action could be taken. He said that his name was mentioned, so where are the witnesses? If there were witnesses, it would have to be a lawsuit. But if there were only two people talking, he didn't know if they were telling the truth or not. One person said they did, but the other didn't say anything. How far does it go in the various lawsuits? If the other party said they didn't say anything, he didn't know what to do. Let the two people sue each other. He didn't plan to sue because he didn't know anyone. 'Like today, there's another one. Another brand of doping drugs involved my name. When my name is involved, it must sell well. Let the authorities follow up on the defamation case. If it causes damage, they must take legal action. At this time, it is a violation of the Computer Act,' said Mr. Somsak. Mr. Somsak said that as for how he knew Mr. Samart, he was good at pyramid schemes, traveling around to educate people who ha d been defrauded in many provinces. He was a famous person for helping people. We campaigned for fraud and share scams as a policy of the Ministry of Justice at that time. No matter how we suppressed it, it would not be gone. Many people who worked in government sectors on pyramid schemes rose to the level of deputy director-general and director-general. Many people who worked hard did well. However, in this case, he did not know about the damage caused by the clip that came out. He did not know about his behavior in the later period. When asked if Pol. Lt. Gen. Piya stated that the incident occurred at the same time as his position as Justice Minister, Mr. Somsak said, 'How did he know that it was at the same time? He is an ex-policeman, right? Mr. Piya is close to my friends who came to work here. We used to visit each other before. There is nothing. I have said that if in various issues, doing political duties makes everything look good and damages others, that is bad politics. We have to use the facts.' W hen asked if it was a revenge from the Palang Pracharath Party, Mr. Somsak said that there was no revenge. They knew each other. The behavior of the people while working together was not harmful. He did not see anything wrong with them. They just spoke. The plaintiff had not paid yet, so they all failed. They turned to attack people they knew all over the country. It would be difficult for the people to work. They could not come and complain about the problems. He did not dare to meet anyone. He worked straightforwardly. If the people were in trouble, he would do anything he could help with. If you cannot be afraid of these things, do not associate with bad people. If you do not know that they are bad, we cannot not associate with them. We associate with everyone. At that time, Mr. Samart did not do anything wrong. But today, there is a problem. He must come and explain. It would be best to take legal action against the people who accused him. But if he remains silent, we cannot force him to do this or that. Source: Thai News Agency
