Yingluck ruling 'may stifle policy planning'
Bangkok Post
|May 24, 2025
A Supreme Administrative Court ruling against former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra could have far-reaching implications for how future governments formulate policies, Minister to the Prime Minister's Office Chousak Sirinil has warned.
On Thursday, the court ordered Yingluck to pay 10 billion baht in compensation for losses from the rice-pledging programme she oversaw more than 10 years ago. The financial liability adds to the five-year jail term handed down by the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions for her failure to stop corruption in the scheme.
Mr Chousak said that while the Supreme Court deemed the rice-pledging scheme a policy issue, the Central Administrative Court ruled the Finance Ministry's order for compensation was not legal as the corruption happened at the operational level.
