Make Yingluck pay, PM told

Make Yingluck pay, PM told

Former Assets Examination Committee member Kaewsan Atibodhi and his supporters yesterday called on Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to make former PM Yingluck Shinawatra and others pay for the damage allegedly incurred from the rice-pledging scheme.

Kaewsan, his twin brother Kwansuang Atibodhi and several reform groups from Chulalongkorn and Thammasat universities submitted a petition with 10,800 signatures.
They urged Prayut to take legal action against Yingluck over the Bt510 billion the scheme allegedly lost.
Kaewsan said Prayut had yet to appoint a panel to examine the damage. He said he did not want the government to focus the examination on whether there had been corruption in the scheme, but wanted the regime to take legal action to make people pay compensation.
The Office of the Attorney-General and the National Anti-Corruption Commission have yet to agree on whether to indict Yingluck. General Sakol Chuentrakul, Prayut’s adviser, accepted the petition.
He said Kaewsan had requested that the Office of the PM’s Secretary General have one of Prayut’s direct representative accept the complaint.
