Rangsiman Rome revealed that the Legal Committee has resolved to issue an order summoning Narathiwat's governor to explain the shooting case of MP Kamolsak, along with requesting a fact-finding report from the Navy concerning the firearm used in the incident.
On 5 Nov 2026 GMT+7, Rangsiman Rome, a party-list MP from the Prachachart Party and chairman of the House Legal, Justice and Human Rights Committee, announced the committee's meeting results tracking progress on the attempted assassination of Kamolsak Leewamo MP of Narathiwat from Prachachart Party. The meeting resolved to summon Narathiwat's governor for clarification, as there are many useful points for verifying facts and expanding the investigation to those behind the assassination. Previous invitations to the governor for information were issued multiple times but received no cooperation.
Additionally, the committee resolved to summon the court judgment in the case of Sunthorn Promphakdi and the disciplinary investigation results regarding misuse of official vehicles from Narathiwat's governor, as well as the Navy's fact-finding report about the firearm used to shoot Kamolsak. The weapon is believed to be Navy property; the Navy previously stated it was destroyed and buried. However, the committee received information suggesting the firearm may not have been destroyed, so it requests the Navy clarify the facts and verify whether other firearms claimed destroyed have been used in other cases.
Regarding phone number data, Rangsiman noted that both True and AIS telecom providers are required to supply information to Provincial Police Region 9. Yet, the investigation team had to request data again from the providers, although the information should already be in the system. There is no clear explanation on who has authorized access to the data. Concerns were raised about the data retention period, which may cause data to expire and hinder investigations, even though such data should be kept for at least five years.
Regarding other case aspects, especially that of Lieutenant Commander Decho Rattanapan, accused of involvement or support in the shooting and currently subject to a non-prosecution order, the national police chief has disagreed with this order. The case is now under review by the Attorney General, who is expected to decide on prosecution. However, the case file has weaknesses causing disagreement between investigators and prosecutors, potentially preventing further investigation into those behind the scenes. Investigators only examined 11 phone numbers, though the committee believes at least 30 more numbers should be investigated.
Rangsiman also commented on the case delays, stating it is not an ordinary case and is far more complex than assumed. He questioned who is behind it and how much influence they hold to cause such slow judicial processes, especially since even the police chief cannot clarify who holds the key to accessing phone number data.
Regarding the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) ending its probe to decide whether to take the case as a special one, Rangsiman said a working group was established on 16 April. On 17 April, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul visited the home of Wan Muhamad Nor Mata and spoke with Kamolsak. Then, on 21 April, the DSI issued the order to end its investigation, with meeting information indicating the cessation occurred after the Prime Minister instructed relevant agencies to act within their authority.
Rangsiman believes the case is complex and involves state officials, so it should be a special case. However, the investigation was halted, raising suspicions there may be attempts to limit accountability to only some perpetrators.
Regarding some government-appointed commissioners not attending meetings, Rangsiman said that if referring to the Bhumjaithai Party, some members did not attend, but this does not mean all government commissioners were absent, as Tawee Sodsong and others participated. He instructed the secretariat that in future, absences will not be considered leave unless official leave letters are submitted; otherwise, absences will be marked as unexcused.
