Govt MPs seek impeachment of Senator Rosana

Some 145 MPs from coalition parties, led by Phayao People Power Party (PPP) MP Aruni Chamnanya, yesterday petitioned Senate Speaker to impeach Bangkok Senator Rosana Tositrakul for allegedly violating the charter.



In the petition to Prasobsook Boondech, the group said Rosana's actions constituted a violation of the charter, unethical behaviour and abuse of power when she intentionally boycotted the joint parliamentary session on October 7, when the government read out its policy statement.

She later caused chaos in the chamber and led an unauthorised person into the chamber. Her behaviour was an attempt to obstruct the parliamentary meeting, the group said.

Prasopsuk said he would verify the petition and raise the issue at the Senate's meeting on Friday.

Arunee said the group was confident that Rosana had intentionally and seriously violated Senate ethics. However, at least one-fourth of the Senate has yet to vote to pass the case to the National Anti-Corruption Commission for investigation.

Rosana said the move led by female MPs was just meant to discredit her and said she would not be impeached. She does not intend to let her followers in the chamber. Nevertheless, male MPs who had threatened her should also be warned or punished, she added.

A group of Rosana's supporters yesterday petitioned against Rosana impeachment to House Speaker Chai Chidchob, asking for an investigation and measures to stop violence against women like male MPs threatening Rosana. PPP MPs should not have abused their majority to impeach Rosana unfairly, the group said.
