Post-Election Probe Into Allegations Against 82 MPs Going On

[webfact]

 

POST-ELECTION INVESTIGATION into allegations filed against 82 elected MPs is still going on to the extent that any of them might possibly be deprived of their MP status at a later date, said Election Commission secretary-general Sawaeng Boonmee today (June 19).

 

Though the 82 MPs-designate were among a total of 500 elected last month and ratified by the polling agency yesterday (June 19), any of them might possibly lose their MP status at a later date if finally found to have bought votes or violated the election law as earlier charged, Sawaeng commented. Those who are among the total 400 MPs-designate running in constituency-based mode include 30-plus attached to the Move Forward-led, eight coalition partners.

 

The commissioners had concluded that the ongoing probe into the allegations against those elected lawmakers will  likely not be finished within a 60-day time as of May 14 as provided by law for the polling agency to ratify a minimum of 95% of the total 500, thus prompting them to ratify them all for the time being, according to the agency’s secretary-general.

So they announced by the pressure from the public the election results, but they still don't have investigated enough on several MP's,  The possibility still is that these 80 are not approved.. Why not investigate properly in past 5 weeks and than announce the results.. And how about the Bumjaithai party with the most constitutions with questions??

Guessing Prayut Prawit and Anutin are 3 of them along with another 250 unelected senators ????

Foxes watching the hen house.

They don't investigate their own.

So just short of 20% of (possibly) crooked politicians?  I do believe Thailand is getting better!

[bamnutsak]

These numbers seem to change day to day; I think the total was 79 a day or two ago?

 

The EC has one year to conclude investigations, and would presumably, in some cases, refer cases to other 'enforcement' organizations?

Still quite the possibility.

Some hushed circles might be expecting it. 

What they do when things don't go their way.

 

Dealing or treating the rot, on the surface, does little. 

The gangrenous condition needs to be removed. 

[spidermike007]

Prayuth presided over what was likely one of the most corrupt administrations in the past few decades. Yet, he was never investigated. Now, the people choose a young, progressive leader and the dirty tricks start. 

 

All this from a goon that promised he would honor the results. The problem is, he would not know honor if it bit him on the ankle.

Good luck with the reform.....an almost impossible hurdle. 

Some can dream, though.
