Social activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana has requested that Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra be fired for failing to sell her shares in a golf club for two weeks after becoming premier.
The famous applicant claimed that the law forbids a secretary from holding more than five percent of a company’s stock in order to stop corruption at the EC workplaces on Tuesday. Up until Sept. 3, Ms. Paetongtarn had a 30 % stake in Alpine Golf and Sports Club, he said.
Her Majesty the King officially endorses her on August 18 and she was elected prime minister by congress on August 16th.
Mr Ruangkrai said that Ms Paetongtarn, who is also the president of the coalition-core Pheu Thai Party, transferred the stocks in the golf club to her family Khunying Potjaman Na Pombejra. Earlier Ms Paetongtarn and her two sisters had held 30 % each in the company and their family had a 10 % holding, he said.
Mr Ruangkrai urged the EC to speed up research, adding that he would report a similar issue with the National Anti-Corruption Commission.
The most recent processing brings the total number of requests known to have been filed with several organizations against the Pheu Thai Party and/or Ms. Paetongtarn to 13, six of which were led by Mr. Ruangkrai. All of the requests allege problem or ethics violations in connection with several decisions made by the party’s or leading.
Property controversy
Alpine Golf and Sports Club has a reputation for having a large plot of land in Pathum Thani state, apart from its association with the Shinawatra home.
The terrain in Klong Luang city had been donated by a lady, Noem Chamnanchartsakda, to Wat Dhammamikaramvoraviharn, a church in Prachuap Khiri Khan territory, in 1971.
After her death, the Mahamongkut Ratchawittayalai Foundation was appointed trustee of Noem’s house. Alpine Real Estate and Alpine Golf and Sports Club were the beneficiaries of the foundation’s sale of the property.
The Council of State, the president’s legal advisory body, after found the price was outlawed, as the site was religious property.
Yongyuth Wichaidit, the former head of the Pheu Thai Party, was given a two-year prison sentence in 2017 for allegedly abusing his position of power in connection with the sale of the religious land.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission determined that Yongyuth had incorrectly canceled a Department of Land attempt in 2002 that revoked the price of 732 acres of Monastic Land to Alpine Real Estate Co and Alpine Golf &, Sports Club.
He filed an appeal, but the statement was upheld, and he started serving it in February 2020. In September 2020, Yogyuth was released from prison on wellbeing basis, with the situation that he keep an electronic monitoring bracelet throughout his word.
