His remarks followed rumours which claim Thaksin is planning to flee the country to ensure he won't be sent to prison if the inquiry ruled against him.

Mr Wisut, who is also the chief government whip, said yesterday he believed Thaksin would remain in Thailand, before adding that the former PM is scheduled to deliver a speech at a forum held by the Office of Narcotics Control Board later today.
