Timing not right to debate amnesty bill: chief coalition whip

Chief coalition whip Chinnaworn Boonyakiart on Thursday said he saw no justification for the House deliberation of the opposition-sponsored bill on amnesty.

"Under the circumstances, tackling the economic woes and addressing the plight of the people should have the priority," he said.
Chinnaworn said he suspected the amnesty for those involved in the political turmoil might be part of the "Taksin Plan" hatched by ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra to undermine the stability, the government and the country's reputation.
He said he has yet to seek an explanation why certain coalition MPs endorsed the draft bill.
The bill was lodged on Wednesday to await the time slot for the deliberation. It was sponsored by a group of 149 MPs from four parties, Pheu Thai, Puea Pandin, Chart Thai Pattana and Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana.
