Popular Post webfact Posted April 26 Popular Post Share Posted April 26 Thailand's National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has unanimously decided not to challenge the Supreme Court's acquittal of ex-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and five others regarding allegations of improper dealings tied to a 240-million baht public relations campaign. The charges stated that they had misused their authority by not conducting public tenders for the campaign, favouring media firms Matichon Plc and Siam Sport Syndicate Plc. The NACC alleged that funds for the campaign, aimed at promoting government infrastructure initiatives, were wasted when the associated roadshow was halted after a Constitutional Court ruled against the legislative proposal for the intended 2-trillion-baht loan. However, the Supreme Court disagreed, stating there was no harm to the state regarding contract negotiations and fund distribution. It noted that government organisations and the Cabinet supported the initiatives and the Budget Bureau permitted the contingency fund allocation for the PR project. The dismissal of the case removes further obstacles for ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra - Yingluck’s brother- to regain full political control. Both Thaksin and Yingluck left Thailand to avoid jail sentences handed down by the Supreme Court for separate charges. Thaksin's return to Thailand and subsequent parole has sparked rumours that Yingluck may follow suit, solidifying the Pheu Thai Party’s stronghold, now led by Thaksin's daughter, Paetongtarn.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted April 27 Popular Post Share Posted April 27 It seemed quite obvious when the Army and PT stole the election from Pita and the Thai people, that a deal had been made. It's obvious the deal was made for Thaksin, and I always presumed that a deal had also been struck for Yingluck, to be announced at a later date. What we're witnessing is corruption as usual, and utter and total moral bankruptcy on the part of the army, which is to be expected since they're one of the most toxic organizations in the last century in Thailand. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Brick in the wall" kind of means to cut something off or put an end to it. Did you think it means to kind of build something up and confirm it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Thailand, the government certainly doesn't control the NACC and the Judiciary. It's decided at another level.

BarraMarra Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Khun Thaksin has an agenda to jail the army chiefs who stole his premiership and send his sister into exile. He hasn't forgotten who stabbed him in the back.
