The lecturers said the people earlier gave Thaksin mandate to run the country with expectation that he would respect the Constitution and use political stability to solve the country's problems. However, they said, it turned out that Thaksin had had abused the mandate to key principles of the Constitution and used power and interference to dominate the Senate as well as controlling independent organisations, rendering them unable to become check-and-balance mechanism against the administration. The lecturers said in the open letter that Thaksin also tried to destroy press freedom and try to prevent the people from using their constitutional right to demonstate peacefully. They said Thaksin had also been tolerating corruption, letting relatives and closed associates to reap interest from public projects and abused national policies and negotiations with foreign countries to reap vested interest.
