Panel clears govt MPs of proxy voting for budget

The parliamentary ethics committee has cleared two Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) MPs of any wrongdoing over proxy votes during the deliberation of the budget expenditure bill two years ago.

Facing the committee's investigation were Thawirat Rattanaset, a Nakhon Ratchasima MP, and Parim Poolcharoen, a Samut Prakan MP.

Mr Parim was accused of inserting a voting card for Mr Thawirat, a breach of parliamentary regulations, after the House was called to vote following a debate on the budget bill from Jan 8-11, 2020.
