Senator Keskamol Pleansamai does not want to retire amid the current discussion surrounding her educational background, according to her attorney, Decha Kittiwittayanan.
Mr. Decha claimed in a live Facebook live stream that the questionable senator, who received the most votes in the last round of the Senate election, has no desire to move along.
” I asked her, and she told me some persons suggested that she retire. She said she did n’t, and getting the most seats was no fluke”, he said.
The Senator currently faces two complaints to the Election Commission (EC ), according to Mr. Decha. Any attempt to remove her from the post would n’t be simple, he added.
Her state that she was a professor with a PhD was the subject of the problems, which the EC considered.
The EC may decide whether it was a fraud to defraud Part 77 of the 2018 Senate election laws.
Although the law does not require a minimum educational background, the area states that people forcing, influencing, or dishonestly persuading others to voting or never vote for a prospect can face a prison term of one to ten years and/or a 20, 000 to 200, 000 ringgit fine. Additionally, for the next 20 times, they will have to forfeit their right to vote.
Mr. Decha said he tried to remove himself from the president’s event several times, but she is still involved because she has n’t found a new legal director. In response to queries from people, he said.
Mr. Decha, who has defended the lawmaker over her academic credentials, claimed he had previously represented a customer who had connections to as many universities as she does.
The lawyer added that the senator wo n’t continue to speak with the media until she changes her mind in another livestream and that he wo n’t respond to questions from reporters about her.
However, Dr Keskamol was spotted in congress, and she refused to answer any questions, including a media statement about the Medical Council of Thailand’s (MCT) decision to take legal actions against her for claiming to be a skin and beauty consultant without having any documentation.
