The opposition will Wednesday submit an interpolation to inquire the prime minister about measures to deal with flooding situation, chief opposition whip Jurin Laksanavisith said Tuesday.
Jurin said about 30 opposition MPs wanted to debate on the flood situation so the opposition whips would convene a meeting at 11 am on Wednesday to define the framework for the debate, which would start in the afternoon.
He said the opposition would question Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on four points:
1) How to prevent the areas which have not yet been flooded and about how the government would provide correct information to the public
2) How to drain water from flooded areas fast
3) How to alleviate flood victims; how to efficiently evacuate flood victims and how to tackle rising prices of consumers’ goods
4) How to rehabilitate agricultural, industrial and social sectors systematically.
