The ousted former premier made the comment as she faced the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) during her impeachment proceedings in the case hearing filed by the National Anti-Corruption Commission. She is accused of dereliction of duty in the rice-pledging scheme that led to corruption and billions of baht in losses.
"I come here today to seek justice," she said.
She added that she no longer holds any positions of which she can be stripped.
"The impeachment [against me] will not only affect me but also dim farmers’ hopes," she told the NLA during the impeachment proceedings that could see her banned from politics for five years.
