The Move Forward Party (MFP) has come under scrutiny in a corruption probe following the contentious expulsion of Deputy House Speaker Padipat Santipada.

 

Known activist Srisuwan Janya announced his intention to petition the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to investigate the incident.

 

The MFP’s move was viewed with suspicion, with Srisuwan and several political observers deeming it a tactic to simultaneously hold the positions of deputy House speaker and opposition leader.

 

Srisuwan has accused the MFP of breaching the ethics code for parties and politicians, as outlined in Section 234 (1) of the 2017 constitution.

Go Chase PTP and the Senate if you're talking about breaching ethics.

"Ethics" does not require MFP to be removed from the political stage before May of next year, to clear the way for a reset of the Senate.

 

Srisuwan, as a dedicated servant of the establishment, is gamely playing his part.

 

It will be interesting to see whether this will be just another move to chip away a few more of MFP's leading players, or the start of "the big push"!

Exactly.

Seems to me like a political tactic rather than corruption.

Quite right too. A dirty tricky manoeuvre that impugns the 'values' of Move Forward and its senior leadership. This shows there is no difference between any of the parties, all corrupt liars.

More scum and villainy than Mos Eisley !

He is bankrolled, I think this man should pay income tax.

Any activist out there willing to take a look?

Everything must be done to get rid of any influence of MoveForward it seems.  A lot of negative news all the time,  while it is the only party that could help Thailand.  All others as we see are doing the job for their own good

Drag them before the CC and ban the party.

All's fair in love and war -- and politics.

Wouldn't the 'ethics' rule disqualify Captain flour?

 

This guy went to prison in Thailand for murder - released a few years later after some other guy took the fall, and went to prison in Australia for importing heroin.  Yet he is a minister in the cabinet.

 

Biggest joke of the decade (no pun intended). 

Where is the junta loving brigade in this thread?

 

I for one am fascinated to see how they will justify their support for the suppression of democracy now that they can no longer excuse fascism and authoritarianism and oppression as necessary evils to prevent that dastardly super villain Thaksin from destroying Thailand.

 

Nowadays, subverting democracy benefits Thaksin…., what is a good old fashioned racist right wing nutter to do?

Doesn't this guy have anything better to do with his time?
