Office of Ombudsman drops complaints against Yingluck

BANGKOK: -- The Office of Ombudsman Friday dropped two complaints against Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on ground that there were no clear evidences that she had violated her political ethics.

Rakkecha Chaechay, the spokesman of the Office of Ombudsman, said the panel of ombudsmen discussed and agreed that Yingluck had done nothing wrong for skipping a House meeting to perform her PM's duty at the Four Seasons Hotel.

The ombudsmen also saw that there were no issue of extramarital affairs because Yingluck went to the hotel with many persons.

The ombudsmen also saw that Yingluck did not commit a conflict of interest in the project to reduce taxes for first-time home buyers. The ombudsmen noted that Yingluck had resigned as executive of SC Assets so she would not benefit from the project.

Rakkecha said the ombudsmen also saw that Yingluck did not violate the law against conflicts of interest by holding 0.85 per cent shares in SC Assets because the laws allowed a Cabinet member to hold up to five per cent of shares in a firm.

Any of this come as a surprise.

[Nickymaster]

Yingluck, her family and friends are all real estate developers. The government has a policy to give subsidy to first-time home buyers. There was a study that this only offers a benefit to a few (home buyers) and cost the government relatively much money. This same money could have "helped" many more people on another policy.

Was this policy introduced so that the Shinawatra clan can sell more houses?

Was she discussing this policy at the four seasons hotel with this real-estate developer? The commerce minster was also present.

1+1=2 where I come from. Where Yingluck comes from it means 1+1= I can do what I want because I am the PM elected by the majority of Thais. I hold absolute power so don't ask me any questions.

Just wondering..

and where id her shares in SC Assets go?

Hairdresser? Burberrys?

[whybother]

If she was at the hotel for "PM's duty", why was it "not a meeting", then "a private meeting", and still there is no record of who attended or what the meeting was about.

[MunterHunter]

No point pinning these minor charges on her, when shes about to go into Exile like her brother after 2pm today

[animatic]

Resigned as executive of SC Assets.

But I bet show still owns a large share as does the rest of the clan.

Same BS argument Romney is trying. I'm not the official boss,

so I can be blamed if my company benefits from my actions.

Coincidence this positive news story about "Yingluck is innocent" arrives today of all days? Coincidence also the computer tablets/happy smiling kids photo op #2 again in a few days time. Lot of serious 'positive' stories coming out during a time of crisis for her.

Still want to know exactly who she met in the hotel and why, what was signed, why it could not have taken place openly on record, why the security tapes disappeared and why Yingluck's party denied she had even been at the hotel then admitted it.

Wouldn't you have to have ethics in the first place to be able to violate them.

"her political ethics"

her political ethics might be very different than our ethics

[WhizBang]

She has ethics?

[Thaddeus]

The only way is Ethics.

I like thith.

[bigbamboo]

The best way to clear this up would be to publish a list of the shareholders of SC Assets so everything is open and above board. I wouldn't want any lingering doubts tarnishing the lovely Ms Yinglucks's reputation.

Same same as Chaney having nothing to do with Halburton any more. How ever they were awarded billion $ contracts with out having them go to bid.

As far as the hotel goes. Well I think the only thing wrong was it gave newspapers sensation headlines and sold more papers. As far as I amconcerned if she was not meeting for business it is none of my business. A complete waste of time and money. Notice it is all over and nothing has changed except the news papers sold more isues.

Just wondering..

Or was it simply a move to help Thai families get on the first rung of the property ladder, in tough economic times, which would generally help spur the economy in many related sectors not purely the developers, echoing similar policies in other countries...

I'm sure no Democrats have any vested interests in real estate and all property developments in Thailand solely benefit the Thaksin family...?

I guess it hasn't occurred that perhaps the whole complaint fiasco was simply another mudslinging tactic of the opposition...

And Mark is the only Democrat in Thailand is he? Doesn't own any property in Thailand? His family & friends don't have any vested interests in property?

As always much to do about nothing.

I don't doubt that the Ombudsmen have had unofficial visits regarding matters like ; home addresses, and how harmful it could be if those addresses were in the hands of a really angry mob, for example. Or how nice it is to receive billions to be quiet. Probably both.

Coincidence this positive news story about "Yingluck is innocent" arrives today of all days? Coincidence also the computer tablets/happy smiling kids photo op #2 again in a few days time. Lot of serious 'positive' stories coming out during a time of crisis for her.

Still want to know exactly who she met in the hotel and why, what was signed, why it could not have taken place openly on record, why the security tapes disappeared and why Yingluck's party denied she had even been at the hotel then admitted it.

Friday the 13th has been traditionaly an unlucky day,but Yingluck and the PTP have certainly had a very Lucky day,and this is what the Red Shirts want to see: winning everything in sight,with no argument from the opposition,otherwise we will harass you,the same as the scared Judges.

if the judges were so scared then why didn't they rule that they shouldn't have taken the cases?

Such vindictive remarks on the basis of an unfounded assumption border upon the libelous. Tread carefully brother.

No problem taking the cases,if the result is favourable to PTP,easy to figure out!
