Popular Post webfact Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 MPs ‘offered millions’ to vote for Prayut By THE NATION Pannika Wanich Future Forward Party spokesperson FUTURE FORWARD Party spokesperson Pannika Wanich and 13 other party MPs revealed yesterday that they were offered huge sums of money to vote for General Prayut Chan-o-cha as the new prime minister. The MPs making the claim included Anawin Ratanasataporn, Taophipob Limchitrakorn, Thitinan Saengnark, Thongdang Benjapak and Theerachai Phanthamat. Pannika said there was no way the pro-junta Phalang Pracharat Party would be able to form a stable government with just 150 seats in the lower house, which is why it was offering huge sums to many parties in exchange for votes. Anawin, a Pathum Thani MP, said he had been approached twice. Bangkok MP Taopiphob disclosed that he had been offered up to Bt120 million for his vote, but that he had responded by saying democracy could not be bought. Khon Kaen MP Thitinan had been offered up to Bt50 million plus a monthly payment, while Samut Sakhon MP Thongdang said he had been offered up to Bt75 million, but had refused. Pannika confirmed that Future Forward MPs had been offered anything between Bt5 million and Bt120 million, and some were even threatened if they refused to vote for Prayut. She said there were many brokers in Parliament whose intention was to keep the junta in power, but refused to reveal any names so as to not endanger the MPs. “An MP’s duty is to protect the people’s interest and form a government that can solve persistent problems. Their job is not to join other MPs in exchange for Bt400 million or Bt500 million. We at Future Forward will stick together as we share the same ideology. We have no betrayers in our party,” Pannika said.

Popular Post boonrawdcnx Posted June 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2019 Where does the money for the alleged bribes come from?From the taxes we all pay when we buy anything here - expect taxes and utilities to rise - again - soon. From “secret” military budgets - again tax payers money-in the billions which nobody is allowed to question. Expect huge government spending in the near future to make the numbers and the crooks in charge look good - all on borrowed money and we all pay for it - also for the billions that will disappear magically into the pockets of the corrupt scoundrels.
