The Secretariat of the House associated with Representatives has launched a probe into the mysterious planting of cannabis on the grounds of parliament and threatened to consider legal action in case any laws are normally found to have been damaged.
About 100 seedlings had been spotted on Fri by former Liberal MP Watchara Phetthong and former senator Somboon Thongburan because they were inspecting a banyan tree that was uprooted during weighty rain on Wednesday night.
Some of the sprouts were growing in small pots and others had been planted around big trees in the front courtyard. It is unidentified how the seedlings resulted in the parliament compound or who was accountable.
The particular seedlings, between 1-3 inches long, were removed by parliament police on the purchase of Aroon Laiphongpaew, director of parliament security, after he or she was alerted simply by Mr Watchara.
Yutthana Samphaongern, spokesman for the Secretariat of the House of Associates, said an query is under way.
Protection camera footage is being reviewed and celebrations concerned including gardeners and ground-keepers is going to be invited to give details, he said, incorporating the area where the cannabis was found have not yet been handed over by the contractor.
Mr Yutthana said the seedlings must have been rooted after Wednesday because he did not think they might withstand strong winds and heavy rain.
Mr Watchara said the particular growers must be skilled as the seedlings appeared healthy, but the parliament compound is not an appropriate place to grow the particular herb.
