Srisuwan to lodge complaint alleging illegal shareholdings by Phalang Pracharat and Pheu Thai MP candidates

By The Nation

 

 

Social activist Srisuwan Janya plans this week to lodge a complaint with the Election Commission (EC) over some MP candidates from both the Phalang Pracharat and Pheu Thai parties’ alleged shareholdings in media companies.

He said on Monday that he had found that a few candidates of pro-junta Phalang Pracharat and Thaksin Shinawatra-backed Pheu Thai were in violation of the law prohibiting them from being shareholders in media businesses.

 

“I won’t discriminate. I will lodge complaints [against those who breach the law] on Thursday, no matter whether they are with pro-democracy or pro-junta,” he added.

 

Both the Constitution and the MPs Election Act prohibit MP candidates from holding shares in media companies.

 

Srisuwan on Monday lodged a complaint with the EC over the alleged violation of the same law by 11 Future Forward Party MPs-to-be. 

 

He urged the electoral agency to suspend endorsement of the poll results for these candidates and to revoke their electoral rights, too.

 

If found guilty, they face one to 10 years in jail and a fine of between Bt20,000 and Bt200,000. 

 

Their suffrage rights would also be revoked for 20 years.

 

Srisuwan had earlier filed a complaint concerning Future Forward leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, alleging the same law violation.

The yellow tunic is his allegiance suit. He never got harassed nor his property vandalized by goons like Ekachai. Sure he has been called to report to the army barrack and he lodged complaints of military corruption to divert his actual agenda. He has always being friend of the establishment.

So when he lodges complaints against Junta supporting politicians we can expect your apologies Eric, as you said you would, on a previous thread?

We all see you want to discredit anyone who dares expose Shins and their puppets.

 

Good job he never blew any whistles near someone's ex wife. Might have had his mum's house machine gunned or something.

He may well lodge complaints against these others but it's a sure bet that after a super speedy committee meeting they will be declared as pure as the driven snow and allowed to continue, it's only the FFP that the junta want to hurt at the moment.

There is also another possible alternative prediction: PPP members cleared,  PTP members indicted......
