PP demands overhaul of committees

The People's Party, led by its leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, on Monday convened its sixth 'shadow cabinet' meeting at parliament to address alleged irregularities in the government's TH‑AI Passport project. The meeting focused on concerns that the programme may involve corruption and favouritism, with members calling for greater transparency and accountability. The shadow cabinet format, modelled after the official cabinet, is used by the People's Party to scrutinise government policies and present alternative oversight. Apichart Jinakul

The People's Party (PP) has called for urgent reform of parliamentary committees, questioning whether taxpayer money is being spent effectively amid allegations of inefficiency, duplication and conflicts of interest.

Party spokesperson Pukkamon Nunarnan, however, defended committee work, arguing that MPs should not be judged solely on prior expertise.
