THAILAND : EX-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawata resubmitted petition to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC ) today seeking testimony of eight more witnesses to defend her for alleged negligence of duty, and corruption in the rice-pledging scheme.
Her lawyer Noravich Laleng was designated to submit the petition to the NACC after earlier petition for witness testimony was rejected.
She claimed in the petition Tuesday that any rejection to hear witness testimony from eight witnesses would be unfair to her to defend the alleged corruption case.
Yingluck said this was not to delay the NACC’s inquiry case but merely for justice to prove her innocence in the allegations.
NACC’s suspension of all witnesses in the rice-pledging scheme is unfair to her and will only mislead the public into believing that widespread corruption prevailed in the scheme as the ongoing stockpile checks are still underway and not yet finished.
