The National Anti Corruption Commission is expected to complete its deliberation on the Preah Vihear impeachment case involving the Samak Sundaravej government by next Tuesday, NACC member Klanarong Chintik said yesterday.
The NACC had already started hearing the case but it would take a week to complete since the proceedings had to cover the individual involvement of each accused, Klanarong said.
"Today's deliberation has covered 12 of 44 accused ministers and officials and the NACC should be able to rule on the case by September 29," he said.
At the heart of the legal wrangling is whether the then prime minister Samak and his ministers intentionally bypassed Parliament when drafting the Cambodian-Thai memorandum of understanding related to Preah Vihear Temple dispute.
Under Article 190 of the Constitution, the government is obligated to seek approval from parliament on the framework to negotiate an international agreement when it has ramifications in regard to borders.
Based on the Constitution Court ruling last year, the government failed to comply with Article 190.
Klanarong said the NACC had to determine the involvement of each accused in order to apportion the wrongdoing involved by each of the accused.
After reviewing the wrongdoing committed by each, the next step was for the NACC to name those targetted for impeachment and those who will face criminal prosecution.
He denied speculation that the NACC might target former foreign minister Noppadon Patama to shoulder the blame alone, saying the deliberation had not even reach halfway to form any conclusion.

the way cambodia sees it, that's siem's own internal problem because their extremists used cambodia's preah vihear as an excuse for their own ambition. cambodia don't want anything to do with siem's internal problem, really because we know that preah vihear and surround area i.e. access way have always belongs to cambodia; we're not going to waste our breath with siem's problem. plus, we know it was just a dream for pad extremists to try to steal our preah vihear temple and surrounding access way. that said, of course, cambodia will implement self-defense as necessary. god bless cambodia.
All cambodia want is turn in that thai slodier who shot and burned the boy alive, cambodia gov't must continue to pressure Thai commander NEEPARN to turn in that bastard over to cambodia, and punish the son of a bitch, cambodia really don't care about Thai Govt internal problems, thais people and thais gov't can kills each other for the entire country, we reall don't care!!
correction = cambodia want thai commander to turn in that thai soldier who burned khmer boy alive...
Thailand ! you are not a super power in southeast asia. Cambodia is not the same as 3o years ago; we are united as one regardless where we live.We had lost so much land and war from generations after generations, but we managed to save our motherland from invaders. From year zero, we had lost so many lives including 90% of educated people had been perished during the communist regime, however, we built our country from ground zero. Cambodians all over the world are watching closely with Preah Vihear's situation. We can defend ourself politically and militarily. Long live Khmer people!!!
You are good idea and good saying for khmer people,but some khmer people don't have good idea like your.
Stupid Thai Gov't trying to delay border issues by sending Yellow Shirts to protest on purpose, Thai Govt never stop their dirty tricks! this time Khmer caught your dirty acts on the spot, this is 21st century khmers are different and very smart now, don't mess with cambodia or your ass will burns like gasoline bitch!!
