NCCC unanimously ruled by 7:0 that Yingluck is guilty of negligence, according to Article 178 of the Criminal Code, in the rice pledging scheme. She is hence barred from performing the PM's duties.
Though there are inadequate evidence of direct involvement in corruption, but as chair of the national rice committee, she overlooked evidence of corruption at every step and did not attempt to stop it.
Criminal indictment shall be futher pursued in a week. Thereafter, the Senate would deliberate on her impeachment and the Criminal Court for Political Office Holders would rule on the criminal offences and punishment, which includes jail terms.
