Officials removal sought

The Foundation for Consumers on Thursday filed a petition to Nikom Wairatpanij, president of the Senate, asking for the removal of five individuals appointed to their posts under the Constitution's Article 270.

 
 
They are Energy Minister Pongsak Ruktapongpisal; energy permanent secretary Norkhun Sitthiphong; Songpop Polachan , director-general of the Mineral Fuels Department; Viraphol Jirapraditkul, director-general of the Energy Business Department; and Suthep Liumsirijarern, director-general of the Energy Policy and Planning Office.
In the petition, the foundation said they failed to ensure fair competition in the energy business and were incompetent.
