Parliament in Uproar! Thaeng Reveals 5 Suspicious Coincidences, Demands Direct Response from Anutin and Pipat; Sian Hurries to Apologize
A People's Party MP challenged Prime Minister Anutin and Deputy PM Pipat to directly answer questions about alleged oil hoarding and dark money networks in Parliament, after both delegated responses to junior ministers.
At 10:30 AM on April 30, 2569, Parliament Speaker Sopon Saranyut presided over a live question session where Nattapong Ruengpanya, a People's Party list MP, sought to question Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Interior Minister regarding oil storage matters. However, Anutin delegated Deputy PM Pipat Ratchakitprakarn, who in turn delegated Transport Deputy Minister Siripong Angkhaskuldee to answer on his behalf. Nattapong objected, explaining he had coordinated since April 29 to speak directly with either Anutin or Pipat, emphasizing the issue involved high-level government connections to dark money networks and oil hoarding schemes that required answers from top officials, not subordinates. He outlined five suspicious coincidences to present, including connections between alleged oil trader "Mo-ng" (identified as Sian Tutor) and BCPG oil company. Parliament Speaker Sopon ruled the question admissible under parliamentary rules allowing delegated responses, while opposition lawmakers protested that substantive government accountability required direct answers from senior officials rather than subordinates.
