NACC member probing graft faces impeachment

Members of the Pheu Thai Party Friday called on the Senate to impeach National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) member Wicha Mahakhun.

Senate president Nikom Wairatpanij responded Friday by saying the senators could convene an extraordinary session to rule on the impeachment request. 
“At least three-fourths of the senators have to vote to remove an NACC member,” Nikom explained. 
He also said that he had to check the eligibility of those pushing for the impeachment before a session is convened to rule on the matter. Pheu Thai has submitted a list of the people calling for the impeachment.
