for holders of
political office,said the Constitution Drafting
Committee (CDC) spokeman ,Gen
Lertrat Rattanavanich.
They decided that politicians who have been removed
from office for
four offences may not apply to become
MPs or senators under Section 111(5) of the draft.
The four offenses are.
1.Being unusually rich
2.Acting in ways that indicate corruption running
counter
to duties.
3.Acting in ways that may demean public office,or
4.Acting in ways that indicate corruption against
judicial positions.
So Thaksin Shinawattra and his sister Yingluk will
likely disappear from the political scene for good based
on the latest revision of the constitution draft.
Section 111 (8) also ban for life person who have received
The “red cards” during an election which having judged
by court or a legitimate order to have caused an
election
to be unfair.
For minor offences ,the ban is five years.They include
acting
unethically ,falsely declaring assets,or having been
removed
from office for deliberating exercising power in
violation of
the constitution or laws.
Most of the 220 politicians banned their parties were dissolved
in the aftermath of the 2006 coup so the so-called
Houses
no 109 and 111 would be able to return.
The provision were need because Section 35 (4) of the
interim
charter required that the constitution drafters design
mechanism that ban corrupt politicians for good.
The fugitive Ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawattra
can not come back
to become MPs since he was ruled
guilty by the one-tired Supreme Court for politician
for being unusually rich and his assets were seized.
He was found guilty of deliberately his power
and duties illegitimately when he allowed his wife
to join a bid for state land plot on Ratchadaphisek
Road in Bangkok.
If the revised constitution draft is accepted Ms.Yingluk
can not become MPs too because she was impeached
retroactively by the military-appointed National
Legislative Assembly (NLA) for dereliction of duty
for her role in the rice –pledging scheme.She also face
criminal charges related to the case.
In my viewpoint,I support the point to prohibit the
politicians
who rule guilty from the four offences above to become
MPs
or senators
because we need good politicians to go to the
parliament and do their duty for the country benefit not
for
their benefit.
I think this reviewed to adjust the qualification of the
politicians is a
good one and intend to improve the quanlity
of the politicians and it will make more clean in the
political
climate.
It is the best news for many of Thai people who want to
see
a better Thailand that Thaksin and Yingluk can not
become
MPs and Prime Minister again so that Thailand will at
least
end of the political conflict in the society.
I hope this is the first step and in the end we can go
to
the true and sustainable democracy that we all need.
Hope for a better society in Thailand!!
Sincerely Yours.
