Unfazedby the military regime’s order banning political activities, former prime minister Somchai Wongsawat still plans to tour the Northeast the Pheu Thai Party’s main support base to meet former MPs who face impeachment by the National Legislative Assembly (NLA).
They will discuss how to deal with the proceedings after the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) ruled that 250 former MPs, most of whom are from Pheu Thai, had abused their power and violated the constitution in their attempt to amend the 2007 charter to make the Senate a fully elected chamber.
The NACC has petitioned the NLA to impeach them.
A party source said former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has assigned Mr Somchai Thaksin’s brother-in-law to groom the ex-MPs in how to defend themselves against the allegations when the NLA begins hearing the impeachment motions.
Mr Somchai will first meet former party MPs in Ubon Ratchathani and Udon Thani next Friday. The aim is to ensure all ex-legislators use the same script to counter the allegations during the NLA’s questioning sessions, the source said.
They will be instructed to explain to the NLA that the NACC used double standards in handling the case and that it in fact had no authority to investigate them, the source said.
However, Mr Somchai’s efforts might not pay off as a number of the former MPs are somewhat reluctant to show any open hostility towards the military.
They all believe they are likely to survive the impeachment vote and avoid a five-year ban from politics, the standard punishment for being found guilty by parliament.
The 250 former legislators are less worried after what happened to former House speaker Somsak Kiatsuranon and ex-Senate speaker Nikhom Wairatpanich who both survived impeachment motions. The 250 former MPs hope they will also survive.
A former Pheu Thai MP based in the Northeast said there were 250 separate cases against the 250 ex-MPs.
If each spends hours defending themselves in the NLA sessions, the impeachment proceedings can be expected to drag on for up to a month before the NLA can finally get to vote on whether to impeach them, he said.
On another front, the source said that Thaksin has assigned his younger sister Yaowapa Wongsawat, who is Mr Somchai’s wife, to take care of the party’s financial matters.
The source said one of her main tasks is to appoint someone to place a surety of 30 million baht each for bail for former commerce minister Boonsong Teriyapirom and his former deputy Poom Sarapol when their trial in the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office-Holders commences on June 29.
Mr Boonsong and Mr Poom are among 21 people and companies indicted by the Office of the Attorney-General in connection with alleged fraudulent government-to-government rice sale deals.
Following the May 22 coup, several former MPs complained that their “big boss” had not provided them with a “financial lifeline”. But in the case of Mr Boonsong, it seems he is among the first to receive help from the big boss after the coup.
