"Tawee" tours the south to support education at Thamwitthaya School Branch 2 in Songkhla, while former Natawee Bar Council president emerges to praise his stance, criticizing "senator rigging and Khao Kradong" cases.,
On 13 Sep 2026, Police Colonel Tawee Sodsong, a party-list Member of Parliament and leader of the Prachachart Party, serving as advisor to the Parliamentary Committee on Law, Justice and Human Rights, led the party delegation to participate in a charity event to raise funds for building classrooms and a mosque at Thamwitthaya School Branch 2 in Chana District, Songkhla Province.
The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Police Colonel Tawee met and spoke with attendees amid activity tents and various stalls within the school grounds. Many local residents came to offer encouragement, greet him, and request photos. School administrators from the area warmly welcomed him, led by Mr. Umaiyil Manwang, Director of Thamwitthaya School in Songkhla; Mrs. Meena Mahe, Manager of Thamwitthaya Foundation School Songkhla; Teacher Rosi Bensulong, Director of Thamwitthaya School Yala; Ustaz Abdulrahman Tupa, Manager of Thamwitthaya School Yala; and Dr. Nasrudin Kaji, Manager of Rungroj Wittaya School.
Also present was the family of Mr. Sapaeng Basor, also known as Ustaz Shafie Ben Abdulrahman, former principal of Thamwitthaya Foundation School in Mueang District, Yala Province, one of the largest and most renowned private Islamic schools in the three southern border provinces, joining the welcome.
Police Colonel Tawee briefly commented on his attendance, stating, "This is a place that benefits the country, especially in the southern border provinces." Meanwhile, Mr. Umaiyil Manwang, director of Thamwitthaya School in Songkhla, expressed gratitude to Police Colonel Tawee for his ongoing support and encouragement of the activities, particularly his emphasis on the importance of education.
Meanwhile, as Police Colonel Tawee met the public, Mr. Theeraphong Donsawi, managing director of TN Law in Natawee District, Songkhla, and former president of the Natawee Bar Council, accompanied by colleagues, approached to greet him and request a photo, praising his work and political stance in an interesting way.
Mr. Theeraphong revealed he has closely followed political news, especially three major current issues: the senator rigging case, the Khao Kradong case, and local civil service exam corruption. These are all major national concerns affecting every Thai citizen. From his observation of politicians’ roles, he noted that Police Colonel Tawee holds a clear position focused on the country's and people's interests, not merely political gains.
"What he says, whether in media or parliamentary debates, comes from sincerity and aligns with what the public follows. As the Prachachart Party is part of the coalition government, it is quite difficult to openly critique or scrutinize government administration. Yet he maintains his own stance and courageously speaks the truth, because without such politicians, issues would be silenced, which would be detrimental to the nation." Mr. Theeraphong said.
The former president of the Natawee Bar Council also analyzed, from a legal perspective, concerns about the senator rigging case, describing it as very important because senators must filter legislation and, most critically, select members of independent organizations such as the Election Commission, the National Anti-Corruption Commission, and the Constitutional Court. If senators come from rigged or illegitimate processes, they will vote to appoint associates into these independent bodies, which is serious and could lead to corruption cases beyond legal accountability. He noted that some senator candidates are currently prosecuted by the Election Commission, with courts having ruled them guilty, consistent with academic, former judiciary, and legal experts’ voices confirming that senator rigging has occurred.
"I have admired him since the Department of Special Investigation clearly investigated related connections. He has fully pushed for what is right for the nation, not to destroy opponents. I support him in his role and stance that benefits the public, not just his party or allies."
Mr. Theeraphong also spoke about the Khao Kradong case, stating that he has followed it since Police Colonel Tawee debated it in parliament. It highlights clear legal inequality because although the Supreme Court has issued a final ruling on the land, no action has been taken, unlike ordinary villagers who have farmed the land for generations but face prosecution for encroaching on reserved forest areas, resulting in imprisonment and heavy fines.
Furthermore, Mr. Theeraphong recalled his positive impression of Police Colonel Tawee from when he served as Secretary-General of the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Centre, noting his genuine commitment to solving problems in the southern border provinces, which is the most crucial matter. He also remembered proposing, during his time as president of the Natawee Bar Council, the arrangement of volunteer lawyers stationed at district offices in the three southern border provinces and four districts of Songkhla to help residents who hesitate to visit police stations access justice more easily. Police Colonel Tawee showed interest and took the proposal under consideration.
"I am confident that local villagers follow and see that what Police Colonel Tawee does is correct and benefits the people. I encourage him to maintain this stance for the genuine benefit of the villagers." Mr. Theeraphong concluded.
