Pracha confident of rebutting claims

The no-confidence debate against Pracha, as the director of the Flood Relief Operations Centre (FROC), is scheduled to start today with the MPs voting tomorrow.
The Democrats filed a no-confidence motion against Pracha saying he had failed to solve the flood problem and overlooked irregularities in flood relief supplies distribution.
Pracha said yesterday he was not worry and did not see any need to prepare to deal with the Democrats’ scrutiny.
“I’m not tired. I’m going ahead as long as people are still in trouble. I’m not disheartened. I’m determined and have good to do for the country and the people. I’m not worried. If the people still want me to do, I’ll continue. If not, I’ll just stop. I’m a representative, not [an MP who came from] a draw of lots,” Pracha said.
He said he believed the censure debate would not have any impact on Yingluck. He was glad that Democrat leader Abhisit would lead the debate himself so that, as a new-face politician, he [Pracha] can be politically stronger.
Democrat MP from Songkhla, Wiratana Kalayasiri, a legal expert, said he was confident in the authenticity of the evidence against Pracha and that the National Anti-Corruption Commission would be able to continue investigations. However, he didn’t expect Pracha to be censured as the government has a majority vote in the House.
“We [the Democrats] will speak only the truth because the debate is a political execution. This debate will be about speaking the truth and contains no lies or video clip editing,” Wiratana said.
Pracha said that he had been lately summoned to clarify his work to the parliamentary committee so much that neither he nor the FROC officers had time for actual flood-relief work.
Democrat MP from Trang, Satit Wongnongtaey rebutted this statement of Pracha saying only officers related to the flood-relief supplies distribution were summoned.
