Thani: Thought of abusing power

The particular Senate’s ethics screen will give Thani Onlahiad 15 days to provide his statement on a suspected abuse associated with power case regarding a police corporal accused of mistreating her maid, the committee spokesman said on Thursday.

Senator Somchai Sawaengkan revealed the outcome of Thursday’s meeting regarding a request against Pol Cpl Kornsasi Buayaem, who also allegedly landed condition jobs and several advisory positions in United states senate committees and the now-defunct National Legislative Assembly via a connection involving Senator Thani.

Mr Somchai said the -panel will take another one or two days to review all the documents from the Secretariat of the Senate and the evidence provided by ex-Democrat MP Watchara Phetthong, who accused Mr Thani of mistreating his power.

Mr Somchai said the panel will give Mr Thani 15 days to prepare his verbal or nonverbal statement rather than summoning him next week as planned.
