Senators To Grill Pheu Thai-Led Govt Over Thaksin’s ‘Double-Standard Privileges’

[webfact]

 

SENATORS PLAN TO GRILL the coalition government over alleged double-standard privileges provided for de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict on parole Thaksin Shinawatra, among other bones of contentions, on the upcoming Monday, sources said Saturday (Mar 23).

 

In Monday’s censure debate on performance of the Pheu Thai-led government without a subsequent vote of confidence, dozens of senators all of whom will have completed their five-year term in the upcoming May, plan to take Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin and members of cabinet to task over the alleged double-standard privileges which the authorities had evidently provided for the de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict on parole for a six-month period during his extended stay for mystery-shrouded “illnesses” at Police Hospital in lieu of Bangkok Remand Prison where he had been originally destined for a curtailed, one-year jail term on charges of misconduct perpetrated during his previous premiership.

 

Thaksin who had never spent a single day behind bars had been granted parole only to go places either with or without a soft splint around his neck despite his having been earlier officially reported as being “critically ill” during his six-month admission at the hospital.

 

In particular, the Corrections Department and executive officials of Police Hospital will likely be singled out as the authorities held accountable for the undue privileges allegedly unprovided for any ordinary convicts other than the politically powerful Thaksin who had earlier allegedly manipulated the setup of the Pheu Thai-led coalition government and allocation of cabinet portfolios among coalition partners literally from his private ward at the hospital via Pheu Thai wheeler-dealer Phumtham Wechayachai.

Gilling won't do anything coz Thaksin is the Teflon Don, nothing sticks on him.....

[thesetat]

Am surprised that the anti corruption police have not sequestered financial records of all those that were affiliated with the Thaksin prison hospital fiasco to see if any of them received some form of payment to continually say Thaksin was deathly ill and unable to be in a real prison. I guess it is not something they would want to go public with. The list must go pretty high up the chain of command if not all the way up to the top.

Hypocrisy not enough?

Senators only because they were personally appointed by  a military coup leadership and insured that a 2023 majority elected government would be substituted by a minority elected government because of their unique political power granted by a military coup written Constitution.

Let's see a 100% elected Senate before senators start questioning any government official for alleged elitism.

More likely gonna "grill' him up a nice bar-be-cue lunch and swill some Sinhga. 

It's all a show for the stupid.

Grill all you like, Thaksins had the door opened to him to re-join the party.

Just look the the other post today saying PTP members are lining up to meet with him.

I need a haircut first before I listen to to what the senators and the PM say about me.

On Sunday afternoon, #Thaksin visited a barbershop near the Saladaeng (Silom) BTS station to get his hair cut. Some people greeted him & asked to take pictures with him. He talked with them abt their living conditions & economic situation.

There further are rumors that the same objectors refused any inquiry into the tea money Lord, heir to reddish bulls, hanging out in Singapore with his homies... and hidden in plain sight.  Rumors aside, to date there has been NO request from the Thai government to Interpol to help find the elusive rascal.

Did you forget to mention sequestering all the un-elected senators financial records to see what their sources of income are as well, or are you simply biased against Thaksin?

Was someone making a grab for power?

 

A friend behind her knows what she's like?
