The opposition Democrat Party will file a petition to remove the Cabinet on suspicion that the government colluded with four large companies in the bidding for the Bt350-billion water-management scheme. Democrat Bangkok MP Atthavit Suwannapakdee, also a shadow Cabinet spokesman, said his Cabinet had decided to solicit 120 MP signatures to file impeachment proceedings against the government's Cabinet.

The opposition is accusing the government of violating the National Anti-Corruption Commission law and the Constitution's Article 67 for not allowing members of the public to take part in the bidding, and for colluding with four large conglomerates in the bidding process.

At the end of the trial both sides look at each other, throw up their hands and say “up to you”
