Pareena fights for House panel placesPareena: Suspended as an MPPareena Kraikupt, a Palang Pracharath Party MP for Ratchaburi, will seek a Constitutional Court ruling if the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) opts to formally ask the Supreme Court to order her to stop attending House committee meetings, the MP's lawyer said on Tuesday. Thiwa Krasang, made the statement during a session convened by the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Political Office Holders. The lawyer added Ms Pareena was legally appointed by parliament to work as member of select House committees. At Tuesday's session, the court also scheduled hearings for the NACC's 12 witnesses and Ms Pareena's 10 witnesses before its ruling on April 7. The Supreme Court has thrown out a petition by Ms Pareena, accusing the NACC of taking the case against her to the court without the approval of the entire NACC board of commissioners.
