Former Prime Minister Samak Still Facing Corruption Charges

[Samuian]

Well, didn't the ousted PM then always declare that he is running this country as the CEO?

Didn't he and the board of executives then, have the "approval" of the electorate, as is claimed till today?

Nice point.

But let's be very focused here - the law is the law, and like in all countries, the Thai government makes decisions within a very detailed framework of regulations and procedures which is not flexible (and should not be flexible - it's called accountability).

Taxsin simply declaring himself as the CEO of Thailand (which is in fact meaningless) changes nothing in terms of the requirements to follow the law and work with the proces.

Their claim that they had approval from the electorate (trying to mean approval on anything/anywhere/antime) is rubbish.

No government anywhere could ever get away with this claim on matters such as sovereingty.
