Korveer Defends Anutin Government’s Debate Time Allocation
Korveer Prissananantakul has defended the government's allocation of debate time, citing statistics to show the current administration provides more time than the previous Prayut government.
According to a report by Thai Post on October 22, 2026, Korveer Prissananantakul addressed the media regarding the allocation of time for parliamentary debates. Korveer presented statistics comparing the current Bhumjaithai-led government to the previous administration under Prayut Chan-o-cha. He stated that the current government has allocated between 45 and 48 hours for debates, which he claims exceeds the time provided during the Prayut era, which typically involved four days of debate followed by one day for voting.
Regarding the upcoming parliamentary schedule, Korveer noted that the opposition has expressed that they are not prepared for the session originally planned for next week. The opposition has requested to postpone the debate until November. Korveer remarked that if he were the one submitting the motion, he would ensure readiness, implying that the government is prepared to proceed.
For residents and travelers, this development highlights ongoing parliamentary procedures and potential shifts in the legislative calendar. While these debates are standard political processes, they can occasionally lead to changes in government policy or public discourse. It remains to be confirmed whether the opposition’s request for a postponement to November will be officially granted by the parliamentary leadership and how this will impact the overall legislative agenda for the remainder of the year.
