Say it isn't so, that's just horrendous, a 10 year ban from voting.  Was she convicted of a felony? Did she pay a fine? Were the ill gotten gains and others involved penalized as well.  Corruption is endemic........

She's notorious and has no morals or ethics, she'll find a new angle to feather her nest.

It is good there are punishments when a higher-up is caught red-handed. Bhumjaithai Party is close to Thaksin so I guess that is another reason.
