NLA schedules impeachment trials on November 27, 28

BANGKOK: -- The National Legislative Assembly (NLA) has officially announced two meetings to deliberate two impeachment cases separately against two former House and Senate speakers, and former prime minister on November 27 and 28.

The announcements were ordered by NLA speaker Pornoetch Wichitcholchai.

On November 27, it said the meeting will take on the impeachment case to remove former House speaker Somsak Kiatsuranont, and former Senate speaker Nikhom Wairatpanich from their positions under Article 6 of the 2014 Constitution, and Article 64 of the Anti Corruption Act.
The meeting may also deliberate more documents if the two seek to propose them for consideration.

Copyrights bill relevant to offence for videotaping inside movie theatres, trade confidential, anti corruption amendment bill, and rubber bill will be on the agenda for debate at the same meeting.

But for November 28 schedule, only one agenda will be deliberated. It is the impeachment case of the former prime minister Ms Yingluck Shinawatra.

The meeting will fix the dates to allow both the NACC to raise and clarify its impeachment case, and the ex-Premier to defend herself.

It was not known yet if Ms Yingluck will appear before the NLA to defend the charge, or designate her lawyer to act on her behalf.

If the 3 have indeed committed criminal offences, why not take them to court?? Why the need of playing "democracy"??

The courts have proven over and over again to be the loyal servants of the present masters and their political arm the Democrats!!

[tullynagardy]

The NLA was hand picked by Prayuth and his elite masters. Who is this charade actually trying to fool?

This and all this " we are not 100% democratic" (implying they maybe 80% are) seems to be part of a plan to instill this as Thai democracy and gain acceptance.

Aint gonna work old boy! You lot are on borrowed time.

Thjere are wo process,

the first one by the parliament to impeach them,

the second judiciary for YL

The 3 abuses of power they need to pay...........

If you are not agree ask to poor farmers how many money they loose with YL cheating schemes.

During her mandate all organisation public and NGO tell her there are corruption and problem in her scheme : she do nothing....

Farmers commit suicides because YL government doesn't be back their money.....

YL used poor farmers vote for win "election" but her program was turn only to rich farmers......

She need to pay in the to face, politics (for evict her political life for a long time) and judiciary for push farmers to suicide, corruption and forget her duty of prime minister to stop corruption and loose in this program.

The two other will be impeach for try to change constitution for help some politician grab power illegally (see article of 2007 constitution )

All of these process were be launch before coup !

And you conveniently ignore the other side of the picture and you deliberately ignore the blatant open attempts by

the paymasters lawyers to sway the judges by conveniently leaving a donut box with millions in cash.

"The announcements were ordered by NLA speaker Pornoetch Wichitcholchai."

No vote by NLA members on the issue? Just ordered by Pronoetch? Probably just as well for one might think there was a conflict of interest with 52% of the members being either active or retired military and the whole NLA handpicked by the Junta. There is something to lost creditability when you must commit a crime to charge one with a crime.

[mikemac]

I will send you boys condolence cards and flowers when Yingluck an co. are finally dealt the hands they deserve.

Dumb question of the day: How does one impeach someone who has already been removed from office? The 'flogging a dead horse' idiom is truly appropriate here.

Try to keep up, Doc, as you are the one flogging a dead horse. This subject has been discussed many times before on this forum.

Call it impeachment, call it what you like, Yingluck and co. are going to pay for their sins, one way or another. Trying to make an argument out of the wording of the charge is not going to save them.

A french fry in the USA is a chip in the UK but they are the same thing.

Ahem... I believe you're the one who needs to keep up. Note that the definition provided by another poster includes the following: "formal process in which an official is accused of unlawful activity". Yingluk is no longer an official, hence cannot be impeached. However, she can be certainly charged with engaging in corruption while in office. Thank you/

NLA has not set date to consider Ms Yingluck’s impeachment case



BANGKOK: -- The National Legislative Assembly has not set the date to deliberate the impeachment case against former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, said NLA president Pornpetch Wichitcholachai today.

The schedule for November 28 NLA meet was the opening of the case, he said, adding that Ms Yingluck’s lawyer had asked for the inclusion of additional witnesses.

As for the impeachment case against former House speaker Somsak Kiatsuranont and former Senate speaker Nikhom Wairachpanich, Mr Pornpetch said the NLA would consider the case this Thursday although the two also asked for more witnesses to be included.

Regarding the impeachment bid against 38 former senators for their involvement in the attempt to amend the previous Constitution to change the makeup of the Senate, the NLA president said he was yet to receive the case file from the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

He, however, the case would be treated in the same fashion as the other impeachment cases.

For this accessory to possibly the biggest ripoff in thai history to liken the coup to a "carjacking" is an insult to the intelligence ! She should be tried under due process of law, and a bail amount applied roughly equal to the amount of money that went missing. Then we will see how strong are family ties

You are like a dog with a bone ! Forget about the word "impeach", it is not the first time a word has used wrongly in this country and won't be the last.

You can use the term "fingered" if you prefer, but fact is she and her cohorts are going to pay for their sins, one day.

The headline is misleading it's not about trails on the 27th and 28th it's meetings

Try to understand they are not at this point being charged with criminal offenses, impeachment proceedings are an entirely different thing.

It is probable that criminal charges will follow then the due process of the law will be followed.

As for your last bit of stupidity :

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/750156-four-senior-judges-fired-for-gross-disciplinary-violations/

BANGKOK: -- Four senior judges have been dismissed for gross disciplinary violations by the juridical committee.

The four judges are identified as Mr Ong-art Rojanasupote, senior judge of the Supreme Court and former vice president of the Supreme Court; Mr Singpol La-ongmanee, chief judge of the Supreme Court; Mr Adisak Timmas, former president of the Appeals Court and Mr Sitthichai Promsorn, chief judge of the Supreme Court.

[Nuddy]

This court action is a joke.

Sure Yingluck may have done the wrong thing. Yes I think she did but i don't want to be litigated against.

But the court action is a mess. If the courts are going to charge her, just get on with it and stop these very stupid press releases.

I imagine it upsets Yingluck to see the media Bs but I doubt it will ever worry her. She should not worry as the idiots won't ever get it right!

Thanks for the compliment, but do not tempt me further. I might take issue with your suggestion that Yingluck be fingered....
