Watcharapong Kuwichitsuwan, a Member of Parliament for Saraburi province from the Bhumjaithai Party and chairman of the House Committee on Police, has addressed criticisms from the opposition regarding the parliamentary committee procedures. The opposition previously claimed that requiring a meeting resolution before inviting relevant agencies has made their work significantly more challenging.
Responding to these remarks, Watcharapong firmly rejected the allegations, stating that he has not observed any committee facing undue difficulties in carrying out its duties. He specifically pointed to the Committee on Police under his leadership, noting that they have consistently abided by the 2009 regulations governing committee meetings.
The operation of parliamentary committees is governed by strict procedural rules designed to balance executive oversight with orderly administration. Debates over meeting resolutions and agency summons often highlight the ongoing political tension between balancing legislative efficiency and strict accountability measures.
Watcharapong added that he has served on multiple committees in the past and now serves as chairman. He emphasized that agenda items are discussed based on logic and reasoning. Although the police committee includes two representatives from the People's Party and several other opposition members, meetings run smoothly without conflict.

The committee chairman stressed that every meeting relies on collective resolutions rather than unilateral executive authority, with schedules collaboratively planned ahead of each session. Addressing the opposition's concerns directly, he reiterated that procedures remain straightforward as long as all participants follow established rules and regulations.
