Charter writers of the 2007 Constitution led by Manit Suksomchit have filed a complaint with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), accusing Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and her Cabinet of violating Article 157 of the criminal law for abuse
In their petition filed with the NACC, the charter drafters said the Cabinet has abused authority by violating fiscal and budgetary discipline as stipulated in Article 169 and Articles 166-170.
According to the law, loans borrowed by the government or the Finance Ministry are regarded as revenues which must be deposited with the Bank of Thailand’s treasury reserves account and must be spent in accordance with budgetary regulations, they said.
They also referred to the law that budgetary procedures should begin with a state agency submitting project details to seek fund approval to its supervising agencies.
