Thawee points out that no law was passed to benefit any prisoner, emphasizing that "Thaksin" is in the hospital "really sick." Police Colonel Thawee Sodsong, Minister of Justice Clarifying the budget for the Department of Corrections There was a discussion by Mr. Jurin Laksanawisit, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce. As for the 6-year budget of the Department of Corrections, 38,000 million baht, which is taken from Budget Book No. 9 of the Ministry of Justice. According to the strategic plan for developing the law and justice process which has a project for prisoners who need to be cared for each year, 6,600 million baht per year, saying that they do not agree with the said budget Implying that they will help and discriminate against some prisoners. I think we need to understand each other. that being a government must abide by the constitution and laws including the rule of law which the constitution has written The government must strictly comply with and enforce the law. The 2017 Cor rections Act occurred before the current government existed. And the main reason that is always said is that we will uphold the rule of law. That is, constitutional law must be the highest law. Other laws cannot conflict with or contradict the Constitution. Likewise, people as a state must strictly follow and enforce the law. The 2017 Corrections Law is an amendment to the 1936 Corrections Law because the previous law was not consistent with international criminal law. Not consistent with international principles, not meeting the minimum standards of international principles. Importantly, the old law was unable to manage or manage prisoners, individual prisoners or specific cases. appropriately This is because there is no provision to authorize the operation and the inability to use a control facility or other type of detention. By amending this law According to specific provisions, ministerial regulations and regulations must be completed within 90 days. If government officials do not comply with them, Or in accordance with the law, I consider that government official does not maintain the rule of law. According to the reason why this law was created is because we want the country to have the rule of law due to the current situation in prisons. There are approximately 280,000 inmates in prison. The current incarceration rate is less than 200,000. There are approximately 100,000 people in prison. Thailand has been labeled a failure of the rule of criminal law. If we do not obey the law, we will be the ones destroying the rule of law. If you cannot stay in prison, you will have to stay in a group. classified detention center which is an internationally accepted criterion Corrections are not a place to kill people or torture people. Anyone who is sick must go for treatment, not just former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra alone, but many people go for treatment and for your treatment, it must be learned that you have entered the justice process. They saw him as a peacemaker, even though before that he was seen as not agreeing with the seizure of power. But today, when you want to see the country have peace, tranquility, and harmony, you come back to the justice process. His illness occurred before this government came into existence. He came in about a month before this government came into the legal process and the correctional service gave the utmost importance to doctors. It was found that in the case of people going for treatment outside of hospitals related to prisons The law says it's a prison. Being in a square room and not being able to go anywhere is a loss of freedom, no matter how big the square room is. Many people wonder if he is really sick. I am the Minister of Justice and have never visited, but I have asked the doctor and the doctor confirmed that he is indeed sick and has symptoms. The stay is longer than 120 days. The law specifies that more than 120 days must be approved by the Director-General of the Department of Corrections, which must be accompanied by a treating physician and other evidence. T oday, it has been more than 120 days. The Director-General of the Department of Corrections is inspecting. A thorough examination is in the process of being presented to him. As for former Prime Minister Thaksin, people may view it differently, but if we adhere to the principles of the law, many doctors confirm that he is sick. Which is not only checked by members of parliament, but also checked by constitutional organizations such as the Ombudsman. I would like you to understand that the budget that Mr. Jurin has discussed is over 30,000 million baht for 6 years, approximately 6,000 million baht per year. Of those years, almost 5,000 million baht is spent on food. The rest is administrative expenses, and each year this money is If it's not enough, you must ask for a budget in the middle of the hair. I, as the Minister of Justice, as the Prime Minister has urged to strengthen the principles of justice, will not do anything other than the law being strong in the midst of justice. If anyone is an influential p erson, they will be treated honestly. Budget from the Ministry of Justice, Department of Corrections wants to develop it into a place to create people so that this group of people can come out into society and build the nation. and believes that justice may not cost a lot of money, but if the country has justice, various problems will be fixed The case is under consideration and the court has not yet made a final decision. Prepare to announce ministerial regulations Waiting for a public hearing Fighters may use this. that as long as the court has not made a decision, that person cannot be treated as an offender I must come and perform this duty. I will preserve the supremacy of the Constitution and the sanctity of the Constitution. I will continue to abide by this principle. - 313 Source: Thai News Agency
