Former Prime Minister of Thailand Yingluck Shinawatra embarks on a preemptive move in key Thailand political court case. She’s filed a case against the sitting Prime Minister and eight other government officials. The Supreme Administrative Court of Thailand is scheduled to issue a ruling on this case on May 22 at 1:30 PM. The case is focused on allegations that an order from the Ministry of Finance has led to Yingluck Shinawatra significant damages.
Yingluck has already lodged a lawsuit with the Administrative Court. She contends that the special compensation order she got is extremely unfair and illegal. Accusations regarding her administration’s rice-pledging scheme have recently led to calls for monetary reparations. Important critiques This scheme has come under fire since it was originally rolled out. The rice-pledging scheme was especially controversial, resulting in multiple investigations into alleged corruption.
Yingluck’s lawsuit has been officially registered under case number 1351/2559. It does not discuss the merits of her alleged failure to curb corruption tied to the scheme. This revelation led the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to pursue related cases, seeking accountability from those in authority who were instrumental in the implementation of the program. Similarly, punitive actions should be taken against former deputy minister Poom Sarapol. He is currently under a corruption investigation for unexplained assets of 19.9 million baht.
The NACC’s involvement extends beyond Poom Sarapol. But they were able to live handle Boonsong Teriyapirom’s parole. He is a former commerce minister who was sentenced, along with Apichart “Sia Piang” Jansakulporn, for the rice-pledging program. These advancements highlight the persistent federal investigations and legal repercussions arising from the matter controversial smart cities scheme.
With the court date looming, everyone is looking to Yingluck Shinawatra and the possible ramifications of the verdict. If the court rules in her favor, it would set a powerful precedent. This would undermine government accountability and circumscribe the legal boundaries of compensation orders. On the other hand, if she rules against her this would likely embolden the government further and plunge Malaysia deeper into the quagmire of the rice-pledging scheme.
