PM, Cabinet to face probe over Bt2-tn loan bill

Former drafters of the Constitution yesterday called on the National Anti-Corruption Commission to try Yingluck and her ministers in the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office
Holders.
In their petition, the former charter drafters, including Manit Suksomchit, said the government had intentionally violated the Constitution’s Article 169, which stipulates that all government spending be included in the budget bill. In other words, the government can only implement plans according to budgetary regulations, but this Bt2-trillion loan bill has been designed as an off-budget expenditure.
The NACC has been as asked to seek a court injunction to block the enactment of the bill pending completion of the judicial review.
