Lite Beer Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Only one more meeting on Yingluck case, NACC warnsThe Nation BANGKOK: -- Anti-corruption agency vows to go ahead despite prosecutors' reluctanceThe National Anti-Corruption Commission will unilaterally pursue the case against former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra in connection with her government's rice-pledging scheme if public prosecutors again refuse to take up the case, the NACC chief said yesterday.NACC president Panthep Klanarongran said the anti-graft agency would most likely hold just one more joint meeting with the Office of the Attorney-General to discuss whether the case could be taken to the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Political Office Holders.He said that if the OAG again does not think the case merits criminal action, the NACC would act on its own in taking the case to court.No date has been set for the next - the fourth - meeting between the Office and the NACC. Panthep expected it to be the final one.He said the anti-graft agency would not interrogate any more people because it believed it had gathered enough information in the case.Narong Rat-amarit, another NACC member, said the investigation over possible corruption related to the rice-pledging scheme during the Yingluck administration, involving her and four other cabinet members, was 80 per cent complete and the whole process was expected to be completed by early next year.Narong said the matter was of importance, so it could not be rushed."This not like selling Thai black coffee. It is important to be fair to everyone … and importance must be given to those who are being examined."Asked if people's wealth could be confiscated by the state if these people are found guilty, Narong said everything would be done in accordance with the law.Two sides to issueThe four other ex-cabinet members whose assets and debts are being scrutinised by the NACC include former deputy prime minister and commerce minister Boonsong Teriyapirom and former acting PM Niwatthamrong Boonsongpaisan.Meanwhile, former Democrat MP Warong Dechgitvigrom posted a message on his Facebook page yesterday, saying the disclosure by the Finance Ministry regarding the big loss incurred under the Yingluck administration when compared with previous administrations means she cannot refuse to take responsibility.Warong claimed that the loss could be even higher, as the ministry had ended its calculation on May 22 while some rice stored under the scheme had continued to rot afterwards.Warong also questioned whether the suicides by 16 farmers and the debt incurred by farmers were being calculated in the loss.From the opposite camp, former Pheu Thai deputy prime minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul accused the NACC of unfair treatment, saying the anti-graft body had done little to take up the case of alleged irregularities under the Abhisit Vejjajiva and Chuan Leekpai administrations with regard to the scheme to reform financial institutions.Surapong said more losses were incurred by that scheme and asked why those two were not being impeached.Kittiratt Na-Ranong, who had been finance minister in the Yingluck government, yesterday rejected on his Facebook page the Finance Ministry's estimate of losses as inaccurate and said the massive loss figure was contrived to discredit Yingluck.He said the actual loss caused by the Yingluck government should be lower than the figure stated by the ministry. He claimed there was an attempt to include the losses of the governments that preceded the Yingluck administration.Yingluck's lawyer Pichit Chuenban yesterday said the ministry's calculation also took into account depreciation, which he said should not be used for calculating the value of farm produce.He said the value of farm produce would be known when it was sold, and that it was unfair to estimate its depreciation in the same way as other goods.

Popular Post Robby nz Posted November 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2014 That highlights the quality of the ministers the great thinker chose to represent him. First the well worn "What about the Dems " whine. Then the minister of white lies whose own ministry came out with much the same numbers when he was in office only for the chair of the committee that had the temerity to tell the truth sacked for her crime. Then the lawyer wants to wait till all the rice is disposed of till a final number is released. He doesn't seem to realize that will only make the loss even greater. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NeverSure Posted November 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2014 "Asked if people's wealth could be confiscated by the state if these people are found guilty, Narong said everything would be done in accordance with the law." There is no law. There is martial law. The coup leader is the law. Try Thaksin in absentia and confiscate his and Yingluck's assets and pay off the rice losses. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 If the public prosecutors are still refusing to take up the case then there are not too many reasons why. 1) They don't think there is sufficient evidence to make a case. Irrespective of those who consider her guilty until proven innocent. 2) They have been warned off. 3) The public prosecutors consider NACC are on a witch hunt, pardon the pun. And don't want to be involved, future consequences perhaps? 4) ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robespiere Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 A couple of absurdities: 1. This not like selling Thai black coffee. It is important to be fair to everyone … 2. ...everything would be done in accordance with the law. And a little bit of common sense: 1. the anti-graft body had done little to take up the case of alleged irregularities under the Abhisit Vejjajiva and Chuan Leekpai administrations with regard to the scheme to reform financial institutions. Surapong said more losses were incurred by that scheme and asked why those two were not being impeached. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustBucket Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Surapong said more losses were incurred by that scheme and asked why those two were not being impeached. Is this guy sniffing glue or what? Those other schemes were subsidy programmes, and are designed to cost money and 163 Bn over a seven and a half year period is quite acceptable as a subsidy scheme for such a huge industry. that is about 21.7 Bn a year.... Then Thaksin Yingluck turned up and racked up losses of 518 Bn in just two and a half years. That's 207 Bn a year.... Ten times the cost of other governments. Who introduced the policy?.... Yingluck government. Who was in charge of the country?.... Yingluck Government. Who made themselves chairman of the rice policy commission?.... Yingluck Who is immediately responsible for the Yingluck government?..... Yingluck. So Surapong... You are not the only one who wants justice for Yingluck, we all do.. If justice is actually done for the first time ever in this kingdom, then expect Yingluck to be swinging from a lamp post. I wish this was Colombia, she would have been executed along with all her cronies before the end of last May. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianf Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Posters on TVF cry foul over the prosecutors and police in the Koh Tao investigation and insufficient evidence yet are quite willing to cheer on these bully boy tactics . Just typical yellow tactics ! Can't win won't win so just take it! The stuttering parrot is well known as an ideological supporter of Mr Thaksin and his girls/boys and therefore must be treated with some skepticism. Ideology should not be used here to form an opinion. It is apparent to all that the whole rice scheme in itself was a corrupt scam which hinged on Thaksin's idea of removing Thai rice from the world market, watch the price of rice double and then reinsert Thai rice at a higher price. If this scheme had worked then: 1. There would have been no loss, only profit* & 2. Poor people would end up paying a lot more for their basic food and perhaps the scheme, had it worked, may even caused hunger in certain places. *What would have happened to this profit? Sadly, the people connected to the mills, usually politicians or local people of 'influence', used this as an opportunity to make substantial amounts of cash which appears or may have been part of the raison d'etre behind the scheme. Some of this cash may well have found itself into the already full pockets of the wealthy but the indications are that the backstop was to use some of the cash to fund the red underground political movement. The authorities know all this stuff hence the drive to prosecute those in charge of this scam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baerboxer Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The OAG seem determined to keep themselves out of any case that might cause conflict, controversy, or involve them in growing a pair of balls. Justice - obviously low on their motivation. More concerned with a nice easy comfortable life, whoever might be in power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just typical yellow tactics ! Can't win won't win so just take it! Not the slightest similarity between the murders in Koh Tao and the theft of 700billion bahts from the taxpayers moneys. Yinluck was in charge of the rice pledging scheme, the taxpayers moneys went missing during her watch. She was repeatedly warned what was going on and she just allowed it to run. 700 billion bahts is a lot of moneys.. it made a lot of politicians much more wealthy than before.... For Gods sake 1billion baht is a lot of money... does anyone have an idea just how much 700billion is... Stolen and missing from the Thai taxpayer... Someone has to pay and she was the Boss... The Boss of the biggest scam in Thai political history. Plus the multiple suicides of those poor farmers who got scammed also... The Thai peoples should be screaming for her blood... And as for you Stuttering Parrot... you have not got a clue, Do you know that the world is round ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These kind of posts add nothing to the discussion. What they do is reinforce prejudice. For people who understand the politics here in Thailand, as well as the social and cultural attitudes which allow these type of politics to flourish, reducing the whole issue to a "kick ar$e$' statement only reinforces the divisions. Far better to try and understand the issues and then make an appropriate comment (if you feel a need to post!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
