On Friday, Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, the Prime Minister and the head of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), talked about the Council of State’s completed interpretation of Section 7 of the Sangha Act Amendment B.E. 2535 (A.D. 1992) to the 1962 Act and the fact that he has not seen the details of such interpretation. It is considered a legal interpretation about with whom the power lies.
Gen Prayut said that he’s ready to follow the interpretation if it’s not problematic because he considers it a duty. But if there are problems regarding honesty, they must be fixed for clarity so that society knows what happens and whether there’s any bullying. We have to provide justice and see if there is clear evidence. If there are connections, the consideration must be thorough. “Don’t forget that there’s a high level of social conflict today. There are many parties of Buddhists. So today we must look at the intention. In any case, the government has to do whatever is in its legal authority, but how to do it in a way that creates acceptance and confidence. I respect all monks that are true monks. I’m a Buddhist. But people are the problem and need to be fixed. People must be able to accept each other. If the other party says, come out and let’s solve the problems together, let’s see how to clear things up, the problems must be solved through the law to build clarity”, said Gen Prayut.
The Prime Minister stated that every part is proceeding legally and that all matters must be investigated because they are all interrelated. If a supreme patriarch is appointed today and some problems or issues arise, how can he take responsibility?
Regarding the question of whether the situation has to be assessed even after it’s pointed out clearly whether the power is with the Prime Minister or with the Sangha Supreme Council, the PM said it’s not a matter of the situation. It must be assessed based on right or wrong. All legal interconnections have to be analyzed. The financial aspect and other related components must be investigated. If problems persist, which make the appointment impossible, then we can’t appoint. The police must look at that, too. It must follow the law. “The law doesn’t say that there must be an appointment regardless of whether it’s right or wrong. That’s not what the law says. It’s up to my discretion whether it should be done in such a situation. The media must help me and insist that I don’t hate anybody or any monks because they are not related to me whatsoever. This is a matter for Thai people across the whole country, particularly for Buddhists in Thailand. It’s necessary to put an end to this issue. We can’t take anyone’s side. We must be neutral and use our judgment. I’m not the only one deciding. Even when the authority is mine alone, in reality, I must listen to multiple parties concurrently. Otherwise, why would there have to be multiple agencies?” stated the PM.

In conclusion, for the Prime Minister, the law, righteousness and peace must come first. It’s not important whether and who becomes a supreme patriarch.
To repeat, it is not important who will become a supreme patriarch or not. The law, righteousness and social peace are more important. Do you understand now, ambitious people who are hungry for ranks?
In any case, I must thank those that came out to urge the government to speed up the investigation of Somdet Chuang’s tax evaded luxurious vehicle case to end quickly so that everything will be easier. 108 good things happen when there are smart people like you, brother.
All of a sudden, you came to help Buddha Isara speed up the case. Thank you 3 times, bro.
