Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej, a well-known foodie and TV chef, defended himself in the Constitutional Court on Monday against accusations that he broke a prohibition on private employment while in office by hosting the television cooking show. Samak says the basis of his involvement was within the law, and that he took legal advice before participating. Before his election, he regularly hosted his own TV cooking show. He made about a half-dozen appearances on the show after becoming prime minister, the last time in May, prompting the senators to petition the Constitutional Court. Article 267 of the Thai Constitution stipulates that the prime minister is prohibited from holding any position in any business venture. Samak said that he only received an honorarium from the television company that made the show. Samak does not plan to appear in court for Tuesday's verdict. Despite facing emergency rule in Bangkok, the protesters have refused to leave.
