The opposition party asked the parliament to vote on the draft of the Railway Transport Act by “Mr. Surachet”.

The opposition whip asked the parliament to vote on the draft of the Railway Transport Act by "Mr. Surachet" as the main draft, pointing out that it is a draft that has been studied by MPs. He shouted at the Pheu Thai draft, "Who put it in your hand?", finding that the content benefits the private sector that holds the concession. Mr. Pakornwut Udompipatsakul, MP of the Prachachon Party and Chief Whip of the Opposition, mentioned the House of Representatives' consideration of the draft bill on October 30, the last day of the session, that there will be consideration of the draft of the Rail Transport Act and there will be a vote to use the main draft for consideration at the committee level. The latest information is that the coalition parties will agree to use the Cabinet's draft as the main draft. He also noted the Pheu Thai Party's draft proposal, which proposed that several important sections be truncated and several sections be stuffed, especially the content that was changed to benefit private compani es that are state concessionaires, such as reducing protection for passengers using the rail system, so that the private sector does not have to compensate in the event of delays or cancellations of trains, and reducing the state's power to inspect state concessionaires, opening the way for the private sector to hold ownership of the tracks, which are necessary infrastructure that belongs to the state. 'There are many sections and sections that make one wonder who exactly stuffed this draft into the hands of the Pheu Thai Party. And the Pheu Thai Party dared to propose in its own name and the government whip's proposal that this draft be the main draft in order to benefit the private sector in the future and reduce protection for the people, reduce the benefits of the people and the benefits of the state in the future,' said Mr. Pakornwut. Mr. Pakornwut said that the draft law proposed by Mr. Surachet Pawinwongwut, MP of the Prachachon Party, is a draft law that the previous House committee has already cons idered and drafted, with some minor amendments. If starting from the draft that has already been discussed by the people's representatives, it is believed that the work will be faster than before because it is a draft that has already been discussed, but the Cabinet's draft does not have it, it is a draft submitted during the government of General Prayut Chan-o-cha, by suggesting that the House of Representatives vote on Mr. Surachet's draft as the main draft for consideration of enacting the law. 'We have to ask the Pheu Thai Party who proposed this draft. Who proposed this draft? It must be the MPs who helped consider and look at it together. But I'm not sure who the MPs got advice from about which sections to cut or which sections to add,' said Mr. Pakornwut. Mr. Pakornwut said that the Department of Rail Transport has made a comparative table of the three draft laws to see which sections are missing or have different contents. At the same time, Surachet has analyzed what the actual impact would be if so me of the contents were cut in practice, and found that there were quite a few irregularities. -315.-Thai News Agency Source: Thai News Agency
