The Thailand Consumer Council (TCC) and the opposition Move Forward Party will petition the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), seeking an investigation into the conduct of the 5-member board of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) over its decision, by a majority vote on Friday, to “acknowledge” the merger between True Corporation and Total Access Communications (DTAC), but with strings attached.

 

TCC Secretary-General Saree Aongsomwang said yesterday (Friday) that TCC will also ask the Administrative Court to issue an injunction to put the NBTC board’s decision on hold which, she added, is final.

 

The 5-member board was evenly split on the merger plan with one abstention, claiming unclear legal interpretations. According to the NBTC rules, however, the board chairman has the authority to cast a deciding vote to end an impasse. Hence, the final vote was 3:2 in favour of the plan.

Strictly speaking it wasn't a majority vote... the chair got the final say and he decided to stick with his already one yes vote.

The guy who abstained should be removed, he's on the board to make a decision...not refuse to do his job.
