Bangkok, "Natcha" demands the Prime Minister's 7-day promise to find the truth about the "black-chinned tilapia" that is still quiet, urging the working group to quickly clarify. Mr. Natcha Boonchaiinsawat, Bangkok MP of the Move Forward Party, said that from the case of the outbreak of the black-chinned tilapia that is creating a crisis, destroying both the careers of farmers who raise aquatic animals and risking severe impacts on the ecosystem at this time, last week, Prime Minister Chatchai Thavisin issued an order to 'reveal the truth'. Later, the Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives accepted the order and announced to the public that he had set up a working group to hunt for the truth, setting a deadline of 7 days to know, starting from July 19, 2024, completing 7 days on July 26, 2024, extending the time until today to 10 days exactly. However, the truth has not yet been revealed, and it is getting darker and darker because the working group has disappeared. As for the private companies that have information implicating them as being involved in the import and may be the source of this outbreak, they are still hiding and refusing to come out to clarify anything to the committee set up by the House. Mr. Natcha continued that as he had discussed in the parliament, Thailand had once encountered a situation where the government had to clash with capital. That time, it was the issue of illegal pork. It was an issue that caused many small entrepreneurs to suffer losses and almost disappear from the market. Until a semi-monopoly occurred that made pork expensive, affecting the cost of living until now. As a result, the people have been keeping a close watch on who the masked people are who are responsible for that incident. But the situation seems to be repeating itself again, as big capital appears to be involved. The black-chinned tilapia case is similar to the case of illegal pigs. The Prime Minister's attitude is as serious and serious as when he first appeared in the media. Various agencies have also taken the initiative and drawn a line, saying that the culprit must be found, just like before. It's the same old drama, the same old script, the same old play. 'In the end, it's just empty words as usual. Now, it's past the 7-day deadline as promised to reveal the truth, but it seems that the truth is disappearing with the wind in another matter. From the work through the parliamentary mechanism, together with the public sector and those affected, we believe that there is information indicating that the government will definitely be able to find the responsible person. But we still haven't received the truth about the origin of this type of fish. The process is still a mystery as to why the fish that were in South Africa ended up in the middle of Thailand. As I mentioned in the last debate, it can be called illegal fish. We have to watch this illegal fish incident to see how the Thai government and the capitalists will end up. Only the people can help follow up and demand the truth,' said Mr. Natcha. Mr. N atcha continued that everything we could do through the parliament has been done. Now all that remains is where to find the government's fact-finding team. If anyone knows, please inform us because since the time was up, they have disappeared. Or if you know that the people are asking about them, please come out and report the progress. Source: Thai News Agency
