Popular Post Robby nz Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 The eight who abstained should be sacked, if they cant or are afraid to make a decision on something this important they shouldn't be in the job. Ok the decisions have been made on the evidence presented now lets see who does and does not accept them. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Junta-stacked parliament impeaches ex-Thai PMBangkok, Thailand | AFP |BANGKOK: -- Thailand's junta-stacked parliament voted overwhelmingly Friday to impeach embattled former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra over her administration's controversial rice subsidy scheme, just hours after prosecutors said she should also face criminal corruption charges.A tally of votes -- placed on a whiteboard in the 220-seat National Legislative Assembly and broadcast live -- showed 190 members voted in favour of impeachment. The decision, which needed the vote of three fifths of the NLA, means Yingluck will be banned from politics for five years. -- (c) Copyright AFP 2015-01-23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 NLA makes history by impeaching YingluckThe Nation The National Legislative Assembly on Friday voted overwhelmingly by 190 votes out of a possible 220 to impeach former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra in the rice-pledging case.Former Parliament president Somsak Kiartsuranon and former vice Parliament President Nikhom Wairatpanich escaped impeachment in another case.The NLA members cast their votes in secret ballots on the two cases at the same time, starting at 11am. The results were known at noon.The impeachment bans Yingluck from politics for five years.She was accused by the National Anti-Corruption Commission of negligence as duty as the prime minister, failing to act to stop massive corruption in the rice pledging-scheme.Eighteen NLA members voted to reject the impeachment request. Eight NLA members abstained and three ballots were declared invalid.Somsak and Nikhom were accused by the NACC of abusing their authority as Parliament president and vice president to push through charter amendments on the Senate composition.The 220-member NLA failed to muster three fifths votes to approve the impeachment request against Somsak and Nikhom.Only 100 NLA members supported the impeachment request against Somsak while 115 NLA members voted to reject the request. Four other NLA members abstained.A total of 95 NLA members voted to support the impeachment request against Nikhom while 120 NLA members voted to reject the request.

Popular Post Roadman Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 The charge of nonfeasance, failing to stop massive corruption is correct. There is possibly no evidence of her creaming off for her own benefit which is understandable as her fugitive criminal brother would have learnt long ago to have that trail well covered. But there were countless occasions where corruption was presented in the house and she failed to act. She will be found guilty but will she serve time? She is also guilty of lacking in the intelligence department as she showed countless times in her puppet role. Perhaps she should have her lawyers defend her on that basis. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
