webfact Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 EC to take action against 2 ex-senators, ArismanThe NationBANGKOK: -- THE Election Commission (EC) yesterday issued red cards to former Si Sa Ket and Ranong senators.It also plans to take criminal action against former Pheu Thai MP Arisman Pongruangrong for using doctored photographs and spreading rumours about a Democrat Party senate candidate.EC deputy secretary-general Dussadee Pornsuksawat said the commission had resolved to revoke the election rights and take criminal action against Wilda Inchat, a former senator for Si Sa Ket province, for allegedly getting Arisman to distribute CDs and the doctored photographs to win votes. The CDs and photos were distributed at a cooperative meeting in Si Sa Ket's Huay Tab Tan district.The EC said the group ran a mud-slinging campaign against political rival Democrat Sompop Mankong by distributing doctored photos showing him standing next to People's Democratic Reform Committee leader Suthep Thaugsuban with the caption: "Sompop donated Bt2 million to oppose the Thaksinomic system."The pictures were used to misrepresent Sompop, Dussadee said.Wilda had previously lost her election rights over charges that she lied about holding a doctorate degree.The EC also issued a red card to former Ranong senator Sakda Sriwiriyapaiboon for allegedly distributing calendars carrying doctored photographs of him standing next to former Ranong senator Wirat Romyen. The EC will take criminal action against the two senators if the Supreme Court rules in favour of the EC.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/EC-to-take-action-against-2-ex-senators-Arisman-30253806.html-- The Nation 2015-02-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off topic but the BBC reporting on the latest crisis surrounding the PM described Aussie politics as a ' blood sport ' ! Without defamation laws and trumped up LM allegations Thai politicians would be completely lost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think it is a good idea that the EC's roll be concentrated more on vetting and scrutinising election process and candidates rather than organising elections, it is clear they do not have enough staff to do both - leaving the routine mundane tasks to other departments get a thumbs up from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manic Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thaksin did not invent corruption he just made it work better for the Thai people as well as his family unlike other Thai leaders who just advanced themselves at the expense of the Thai people. The power elite of Thailand look down on the majority of dark skinned Thais who they regards as racially inferior serfs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be o k to lie about having a doctorate degree or issue false doctored photographs in Australian politics? Explains a lot. Nothing is explained. In a democratic society alleged lies by an elected incumbent or candidate are judged by the electorate, not by an elite-appointed committee. If a majority of the electorate finds fault, the incumbent or candidate may not continue in their current political careers. The majority may decide that the allegations are not serious enough to outweigh the value of the person's agenda and overlook the allegations.

rickirs Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Amazing "cause" and "effect" in action. The EC faces loss as an Independent Organization and merger into one or more government ministeries, and all a sudden it issues red cards. It is making a blatant attempt to show how important and VITAL it is to the CDC/NRC as an independent organization. This action, seemingly as an act of self-preservation, only demonstrates just how politcally corrupt this organization has become. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilda also lied about holding a doctorate degree. Lying and thievery is unacceptable, even for politicians. When exposed for lying are your Australian politicians congratulated? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if a senator lies about his educational qualifications, fakes photos to inflate his reputation, and maybe even forgets to mention his criminal convictions, he gets to serve his 6 years as senator, and then maybe gets voted out, if he hasn't managed to steal enough to bribe his way back in? Because elections over-ride laws, rules, honesty and morality, right? And this happens in which other democracies?

JAG Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Perhaps the Junta is methodically working through a list of names, to remove them from the political landscape before they risk an election?

Everyone is pretending Thaksin invented the Thai system...it's not Thaksinomics...it's Thainomics and always was. So, does that mean Thaksin has it claimed for him by others, or can we look forward to Thaksin's legal representative filing a defamation suit against Arisman and Wilda? BTW great slogan, but Iwonder if any in the electorate in SiSaKet would be able to give an ecominically acceptable explanation of the "Thaksinomic system". Imight be wrong of course, maybe as I write this a commission in Norway is taking the final steps for a well deserved Nobel Prize in Economics to be handed to that eminent Doctor Pol. Lieut-Colonel Thaksin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should ask the EC which cases related to the Fab4 elections are still being processed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow i've heard about the speeches but didn't realize they were that direct, the translation is pretty much spot on too. He should be in jail already, how telling people to burn bangkok isn't a crime is reprehensible frankly.
