According to criticism head Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, the opposition has formally petitioned House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha to request an investigation into the National Anti-Corruption Commission’s management of a number of high-profile misconduct situations.
First, he stated that the union is calling for an investigation into the five NACC people ‘ decision to appoint a fact-finding team to examine past deputy prime minister Prawit Wongsuwon’s behavior after he accepted the position. He also stated that the organization is calling for the release of an asset charter.
Gen Prawit was accused of failing to involve at least 22 comfort watches and jewelry in his mandated property declaration while serving in the Prayut Chan-o-cha case. Eventually, he claimed that his mother gave him the jewelry and that he had them loaned to him.
Five people of the committee voted to abandon the exploration, despite the NACC’s decision to continue with it. Following the ruling, the Administrative Court filed a petition demanding that the organization release the investigation’s details to the press.
An activist who had petitioned to see the report turned it over received a copy of it, but it was strongly redacted.
But, as the NACC ignored the judge’s order, its nine commission should also be investigated for misconduct, Mr Natthaphong said.
Last but not least, the opposition wants an investigation into the conduct of the recently elected NACC leader, Suchart Trakulkasemsuk, and possible his dismissal.
A picture of Mr. Suchart and Mr. Wan’s discussion earlier this month was leaked on social media.
They could be heard discussing the NACC president’s vote and whether or not a complaint against Mr. Suchart that was filed by previous deputy police chief Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn would have an impact on his candidacy for the position.
The conversation, according to reviewers, may be considered an ethical violation.
The opponent’s complaint is backed by 144 MPs — 143 of them from the Women’s Party and one from Fair Party — and a legislator. On Thursday, the House speech received the complaint along with 18 pieces of evidence.
