Opposition MP Demands Clarification on EEC Expansion to Prachin Buri
A People's Party MP has called on the Prime Minister to clarify the government's stance on expanding the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) to Prachin Buri following conflicting statements from officials.
According to a report by Matichon Online, Narumas, a Member of Parliament from the People's Party, has formally requested that the Prime Minister provide a definitive written statement regarding the potential expansion of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) into Prachin Buri province. The request follows public confusion sparked by contradictory remarks made by the Secretary-General of the EEC Office compared to official government policy positions. The MP has specifically urged Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to address these discrepancies to ensure transparency for local residents and stakeholders. For residents and those living in the region, this political uncertainty highlights a lack of clear communication regarding long-term infrastructure and economic development plans. The expansion of the EEC could significantly impact land use, industrial zoning, and local economic conditions in Prachin Buri. At this stage, it remains to be confirmed whether the government intends to proceed with the expansion or if the conflicting statements were merely administrative miscommunications. Observers are waiting for an official response from the Prime Minister's office to resolve the ambiguity surrounding the project's scope.
