The Pheu Thai Party Wednesday lodged an impeachment complaint against six Democrat Party MPs, accusing them of committing constitutional offences during the censure debate.
Twenty Pheu Thai MPs led by Yasothon MP Peerapan Palusuk submitted to Senate Speaker Nikom Waiyaratpanit a list of 200 Pheu Thai MPs. The MPs seek impeachment proceedings against six Democrats: Phitsanulok MPs Nakhon Machim and Warong Detkitwikrom; Rayong MP Sathit Pitutecha; Bangkok MPs Ratchada Thanadirek and Wilat Chanpitak; and Phattalung MP Nipit Intarasombat.
The six Democrats are accused of violating Article 158 of the Constitution by alleging that Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was corrupt and unusually rich - thereby allegedly breaking the law - while failing to seek an impeachment against the prime minister with the Senate as required by the Constitution.
Nikom said he would check the name list and forward the complaint to the National AntiCorruption Commission by December 12.
