Somsak insists he did nothing wrong related to leaked tape
House Speaker Somsak Kiatsuranond Friday insisted he did nothing wrong to discuss politics with his Pheu Thai Party members as he was recorded in a tape leaked by pro-Democrat Party Blue Sky Satellite Television earlier this week.
"Democratically, every political party and party member is eligible to discuss political issues. I always openly discuss [politics] with party leaders, including the reconciliation bills," he said.
The House Speaker, who is also an MP of the ruling party in Khon Kaen, insisted he did his duty without taking orders from fugitive expremier Thaksin Shinawatra as the Democrat Party accused him of.
