BANGKOK, 1 November 2015 (NNT) - The National Legislative Assembly is scheduled to continue the impeachment procedure against a former education minister this week.

NLA President Pornpetch Wichitcholchai has issued an order calling a sitting on November 5 to carry on impeachment proceedings against former Education Minister Somsak Prissananantakul under the effect of the 2014 Provisional Constitution.

This Thursday’s proceedings will see the questioning of Mr. Somsak by a committee set up for the purpose.

I tend to feel that ALL former Thai Ministers of Education should be impeached for dereliction of duty.
