Groups question Yingluck's conduct, demand investigation
Play
Some 30 female members of the multicoloured-shirts lodged a petition with the Ombudsman's Office demanding that it investigate Prime Minister Yinglunk Shinawatra's conduct.
The group said it suspected impropriety because Yingluck had failed to dispel doubts about conflict of interest and extramarital affairs.
In a separate move, the Green Politics advocacy group is calling for a probe into the ethical conduct of Deputy Prime Minister Kittiratt Na Ranong in connection with the PM’s controversial meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel.
In a petition filed Thursday, the group urged the Office of Ombudsman to widen its inquiry on Yingluck to include Kittiratt.
Kittiratt had stepped forward in defence of the premier to say that he was present at the February 8 meeting, which was held with six or seven realestate developers, including Srettha Thavisin.
The group said it suspected that there might be a conflict of interest since Kittiratt said the points discussed included interest rates, financial affairs, land valuation, fiscal policy as well as economic and political affairs.
