NACC chief defends agency's conduct in Yingluck case

The Sunday Nation

BANGKOK: -- National Anti-Corruption Commission president Panthep Klanarongran has defended the NACC's conduct in the proposed impeachment case involving former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

In response to the former premier's lawyers claiming the NACC had rushed to submit the case, Panthep said the commission had handled the case in accordance with standard procedures and had drawn conclusions a long time ago.

However, he said the case could not be submitted to the Senate because the junta dissolved the upper House.

The anti-graft body was also questioned by Yingluck's lawyers as to why it had submitted the case to the National Legislative Assembly when the Office of the Attorney-General had said its report was incomplete.

Panthep said the case submitted to the NLA was an impeachment matter - distinct and unrelated to the criminal case submitted to the Office.

He was asked why the case submitted to the NLA did not refer to the alleged violation of Article 178 of the 2007 Constitution, which contradicted its earlier consensus, but only referred to the alleged violation of Article 11 of the charter.

He said the alleged violation of both Article 178 and Article 11 had been clearly stated in the case, which would be submitted to the NLA this week.

The NACC is right that they have not rushed an investigation, they were handed evidence of corruption in the rice scheme after the first no confidence debate around 2 years ago.

Agree, and her lawyers are just hoping they can create any small delay. Get over it.

On another site, today, some politicians are saying they (the politicians) should have the right to impeach NACC members. Given the whole purpose of the NACC surely that's exactly what's not desirable.

Wonder what color they are?

Colour them Chinese. All of the top political and military leaders are Chinese (Sino-Thais). The NACC is no different. They will be taking orders and executing them as per instructions from their superiors.
