Pojaman wants five-week delay
The Assets Examination Committee will decide tomorrow whether to allow Khunying Pojaman Shina-watra another five weeks before she has to testify on the Shin Corp share sale, spokesman Sak Korsaeng-rung said yesterday.
He said AEC subcommittee head Viroj Laohapan reported that Pojaman was due to testify tomorrow but had asked to postpone her appearance till July 10, saying she had obligations overseas. The Viroj panel would decide if she had reasonable grounds for such a long postponement. Sak said if the Attorney General had not reached a decision on whether to file charges over the Ratchada-pisek land purchase by June 24, the AEC was ready to file a suit directly to the Supreme Court's tribunal for people who have held political office. An AEC panel probing the purchase of CTX bomb detectors at the new airport decided not to allow Suriya Jungrungreangkit to put off testifying for two months. The panel had said if Suriya did not testify in person or on paper, it would regard his lack of response as him having no questions about the allegations made against him.
