Thai anti-corruption commission to probe Cabinet

23/07/2008 -- 4:10 PM

Bangkok (VNA) – Thailand’s National Counter Corruption Commission (NCCC) has resolved to investigate the entire Cabinet regarding its resolution on the Preah Vihear Temple, local newspaper said. It resolved to investigate all the seven petitions filed against the entire Cabinet for its resolution to endorse Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama's joint communique with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An on Cambodia's bid to list Preah Vihear as a World Heritage site, NCCC spokesman Klanarong Chantik was quoted as saying. These complaints include one filed through the Senate speaker that sought to impeach all the Cabinet members for intentional violation of the Constitution. The Cabinet is accused of failing to comply with the constitutional clause that requires the government to seek parliamentary endorsement for any international agreement that affects the country's territorial areas. Klanarong said the NCCC members agreed that all the seven petitions were related and therefore should be included in the same investigation. All the NCCC members would take part in the investigative committee, he added.-Enditem
