DPM Surapong to announce his political future tomorrow afternoon
July 28th, 2008 - 1:41 pm ICT by Amrit RashmisrisethiDeputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Surapong Suebwonglee (สุรพงษ์ สืบวงศ์ลี) will announce his political future after the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions receives the two- and three-digit lottery case.
The minister says he will announce his political future this afternoon after his meeting between the parliamentary committee on finance and budget. He also says he will request the Constitutional Court to review the status of ministers who were charged in the lottery case as the existing laws do not clearly state whether they should stop working.
However, the deputy premier affirms he will attend the Cabinet meeting tomorrow (July, 28th) and discuss the case with the other three alleged ministers.
