Former Thai PM Yingluck to be charged over transfer of NSC chief

Good heavens.  With all the blatant corruption in this country, from top to bottom and back up again, the National Anti-Corruption Commission has to go after Yingluck?  If there is one clear message in all this it is that there is NO INTEREST in actually doing anything about corruption in Thailand.  There is no hope.

You mean Prayuth has never 'transferred' anyone out of power? 

You mean this morning? 

 

Maybe, maybe this afternoon?

there would be some fear among the people now in power that they also would be charged.

Well, the junta did grant themselves full immunity for all past and future activities. And set in place a twenty-year "plan" from which any deviation would be criminal for future administrations.

 

After so many coups they knew what to do to protect themselves in the future.

The OAG's charge is a sham from a legal perspective. 

 

On May 7, 2014 the Constitutional Court (CC) had already ruled that Yingluck violated Sections 266-268 of the Constitution.

The OAG charge seems more timed with the unscheduled next election to benefit Prayut's re-election.

 

The CC's decision in May 2014 followed an agreement between the Yingluck caretaker government and the Election Commission to hold a new election on July 20, 2014 after the CC nullified the February 2014 General Election that was expected to give Yingluck's party a House of Parliament majority and retain Yingluck as PM.

Coincidently, on May 22, 2014 Gen. Prayut overthrew the government in a military coup and assumed absolute power under the provisions of a newly junta-written Interim Constitution until the next election in March 2019 after the junta rewrote the Constitution. Several years later the CC ruled that such power was legal.
