prosecuted during meeting sessions only for flagrant
felonies or when their assemblies allowed it.
However in practice,both assemblies protected their
members and never allowed them to be prosecuted.
The previous revision of the charter added only
corruption charges to the offences.
On Friday,Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC)
spokeman,Kamnoon Sidhisamarn said that chater
writers decided to add criminal offences with
imprisonment of 10 years or more to the charges
from which MPs and senators ccnnot seek
immunity during a meeting session.
In essence,MPs and senators will no longer have
immunity from criminal proceedings during
parliamentary sessions if they are charged with
corruption or any
offence that carries a jail
of 10 years or more.
The revised draft also allowed prosecution if the
accused
member agrees to it,without having to seek permission
from his assembly.
The charter drafters rewrote a clause to ensure that an
assembly president
cannot “order” the release of
one of its members.
An assembly may also allow a prosecution to proceed
without calling a vote if the accused member asks for
justice to be allowed to take course.
In my viewpoint,I support the point to add serious
criminal
offences to parliamentary immunity because in my believe
it will make MPs and senators more careful about
what they will do.Although they have duty in the
parliament ,they have duty of good citizen too and
every citizen should be treated as the same
And I hope this point will lead to least and stop
discrimination in society and make the society more
unity and more beautiful to live.
Hope for good political improvement and beautiful
Thailand.
