Constitution Court's runaway power denied: spokesman
Play
The Constitution Court has always acted within the mandate sanctioned of the charter, court spokesman Pimol Thampitakpong said on Wednesday.
“The high court has no runaway power beyond its constitutional mandate,” he said.
Pimol was reacting to remarks by Pheu Thai MP Wattana Muangsuk who alleged that the judiciary had dictated its power over the political system and that certain independent organisations had become a tool for reprisal politics.
He said Wattana merely voiced his personal opinion which he said did not reflect the sentiment on the judiciary.
