Govt should accept responsibility for attendance scandal

The Pheu Thai Party should step forward to reveal the names of its two MPs involved in the false attendance scandal, Democrat MP Boonyod Sukthinthai said on Thursday.

“Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra should not turn a blind eye and should assume responsibility in resolving such a scandal seen as an violation of the Constitution,” he said.
Boonyod said he knew that the two MPs were Yuthapong Charasathien and Komdej Chaisivamongkol, but over the last 10 days the ruling party had deliberately failed to take any punitive action.
The two have been accused of skewing the House quorum and voting records by using their electronic identification cards.
