Gen. Prawit Wongsuwon, the leader of the Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ), is reportedly suing TV host Danai Ekmahasawat and former Pheu Thai Party spokesman Prompong Nopparit for disclosing voice recordings that allegedly incriminate him.
On Wednesday, Party Secretary-General Paiboon Nititawan announced that problems may be made with Hua Mak authorities accusing the piece of surveillance or spreading advertising material. A peak prison term of five times and/or a fine of up to 500, 000 baht are involved in the crime.
Gen Prawit and Suttipong Juljarern, the ministry’s lasting minister, are said to be in dialogue about the audio tape. The clip’s source is alleged to have been the result of improper eavesdropping.
It was one of four music videos that were made available on Sept 11 during a Mr. Danai hosted show of Inside Thailand Television. The following morning, Mr. Prompong filed a complaint with the anti-graft organization asking for an morality investigation against Gen. Prawit. He later replayed the video.
Additionally, Mr. Paiboon asserted that Gen. Prawit may follow the prosecution of both of them until the very end.
Prawit’s suspensions noted
Mr. Prompong also launched his campaign against Gen Prawit on Wednesday, asking the House of Representatives to look into whether the listing MP is carrying out his duties.
He claimed that the 2017 Constitution calls for MPs to perform with integrity and forbids them from missing more than one-fourth of their appointment time without the House Speaker’s approval. As a result, their MP position will be revoked.
Gen Prawit’s participation should be reviewed by Mr. Prompong, who claimed he petitioned House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha to check his composure and check whether he was performing his duties satisfactorily.
I doubt that Gen. Prawit fulfills his function as required by the constitution and the code of ethics because he is not frequently seen at House sessions.
He added that he wanted copies of Gen. Prawit’s words of absence from July 3rd, 2012 to the present, as well as his pay records, but that the problem was never politically motivated.
He said he was exercising his constitutional rights as a concerned citizen and that the threat of legal action was over the audio tape.
He asked Palang Pracharath to define which videos were false and which were fake, as the party had formerly labeled them fake. He claimed that the claims may serve as a means of obstructing reviewers.
Gen Prawit, 79, often attends House classes, ostensibly due to his poor wellbeing.
MPs receive a monthly income of 113, 560 ringgit as well as good health, income and other happiness benefits. Meeting expenses may be lucrative for Members who work on a lot of committees.
Gen Prawit, along with his own coup leader from 2014, shares a free apartment at Bangkok’s Phaya Thai district. Even located there is the Five Frontier Provinces Forest Preservation Foundation, a military-backed company that he chairs.
He responded to reporters just about his frequently missing from Parliament by saying that if people would like to speak with him, they could visit the foundation’s company and see him there.
