FORMER THAMMASAT University dean Munin Pongsapan was yesterday (Jan.5) introduced as the People’s pick for justice minister in case that the reformist party become core of a government after the Feb.8 election.
Munin, a former dean of Thammasat University’s Faculty of Law, was formally introduced as one of the People’s choices of qualified, competent persons to assume ministerial seats following the nationwide election if the reformist party successfully set up a post-election government.
Other choices picked by the People’s as members of a post-election cabinet will be introduced to the public on a daily basis until Jan.15 under the People’s Professionals campaign, beginning with Munin yesterday.
The ex-Thammasat law dean has remarked that Thailand’s rules of law and judicial process have been unduly compromised and largely abused to the extent that they have already triggered social crises and pledged to see to it that justice and rules of law be effectively, transparently maintained and promoted if he is eventually named justice minister in a People’s-led government.
Munin insisted that democratic rule be fundamentally and transparently changed to the extent that it be ultimately developed into democratic culture for all members of society to uphold and follow at all times. He maintained that Thailand’s politics should not only be carried out under democratic rule but invariably governed by rules of law.
He is nowhere on the People’s list of 99 partisan candidates vying for MP seats in party-listed mode in addition to those in constituency-based mode. So will be other choices for the People’s-held ministerial seats.
