NATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION COMMISSION
Yingluck indicted for violating charter in rice-pledging scheme

BANGKOK: -- National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) on Thursday unanimously agreed to indict former premier Yingluck Shinawatra for allegedly having intent to exercise power against Article 178 of the Constitution concerning rice-pledging scheme.

NACC will forward the case to the Senate to seek Yingluck’s impeachment. If found guilty, Yingluck, who was removed from the premiership on Wednesday over abuse of power over unlawful transfer of an official, will be banned from politics for five years.

The anti-graft agency will further investigate to decide whether to take criminal charge against Yingluck for allegedly dereliction of duty under Section 157 of the Criminal Court and Negligence of duty under the Commission Act BA 2542.

Impeach her? She's gone already.

[uty6543]

As she as already been removed from office I hope this is to follow up with a 5 year ban from politics and a criminal trial with jail time same as big brother.

[Local Drunk]

I'm still partying a bit from yesterdays decision by the CC... I hope I survive, pray for me M8s!

[Torkmada]

Here's where it all comes crashing down, thanks to the recent senate elections.

The coup clowns don't have the required 3/5 of the senate vote.

There will be no impeachment.

So is she still the Defense Minister

Deposed Thai PM Yingluck to face impeachment: anti-graft body

BANGKOK, May 8, 2014 (AFP) - Thailand's deposed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra will face impeachment in the upper house over a costly rice subsidy scheme, the nation's anti-graft body said Thursday, in a ruling which could see her banned from politics for five years.

"The commission considers there is enough evidence to indict (Yingluck) and refers (the case) to the Senate," Panthep Klanarongran, chief of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) told reporters.

Doesn't really matter if the senate impeaches her or not since she's already been fired from her job! But it's amusing to see her get double whammied immediately after losing her prime ministership!

Yingluck has already been impeached. Now it's just a question about whether she'll be convicted.

[goldmonky]

Details to follow?

[Dr Bruce]

So now we have the Prime Minister position that can be taken away if the incumbant fails to stop corruption. In future they will not have to prove that any corruption has taken place or name the people who have been corrupt.

Seems like there will never be a stable government in Thailand again.

[Local Drunk]

So is she still the Defense Minister

The courts haven't been impressed with her defense.

Genocide

These spins accusations get better every day

before long they will be be blamed for the extermination of the whole Northern thai species

With the Senate being 49% appointed by the Ammart the numbers are very close with slightly more than 60% favouring the old-guard.

Thailand needs reform and the first reform should be an elected senate.

[jaidam]

Impeach her? She's gone already.

She is gone, but still needs to be punished. I'm guessing she will get a fine of around 600 billion(or however much it is found that her clan have stolen from the Thai people) and with any luck a lengthy prison sentence to deter any future politician from emptying the state's coffers to enrich their family in such an arrogant and blatant manner. Fair is fair.

.....if she is still around at that time. The Shinawatra have a tendency to fly abroad when they have to face the music!

Thaksin already smashed up the house with the 3-iron yesterday...

Their are claims that the NACC are corrupt, bias agency that are abusing their powers. Most people wouldn't disagree with that assessment.

Once the dust is settled, hopefully justice is served to the members of this group and they go behind bars.

Dr. Bruce, we the cynical old expat farts here have seen it all, and we expect little to actually change when the Shins are gone; however, I think you will see a more stable government sometime in the future.
