webfact Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Ex-deputy interior minister Sombat declared unusually rich By Thai PBS Former deputy interior minister Sombat Uthaisang has been declared unusually rich by the National Anti-Corruption Commission after he failed to explain how he amassed 91 million baht worth of his assets. NACC deputy secretary-general Worawit Sukboon disclosed Monday that the NACC’s fact-finding subcommittee had investigated the cash deposits, totaling 106,291,109 million baht held in the bank accounts of Mr Sombat’ wife, Mrs Sujiwan, and three children in the Convent and Budda Monthon branches of the Government Housing Bank as of November 4, 2004. Of the 106.2 million baht in bank deposits, Mr Worawit said the former deputy interior minister who was also former advisor to the minister of information and communications technology was able to prove that 15 million baht were lawfully earned with the rest, about 91 million baht, he could not explain how he acquired the money.

stephen tracy Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Is this a joke? The head of state and his greedy, corrupt little coterie are "unusually rich" and Prayut has already declared loud and clear that no one is allowed to question this. That's an admission of guilt right there. The same as when someone causing an accident refuses a breathalyzer. Once again we've got thieves accusing others of being thieves.

Pretty sure the trough is more yella than danga by now, just a few pesky ones left that might make triuble in the future to tie up in court for years to come..

darksidedog Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Confiscate the unexplained 91 Million immediately. Use article 44 if needed. Then move on to the next high level politician and do the same thing. The countries finances will be in good shape in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon467848 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Given the paltry salaries that senior Govt. officials, police, army etc make...they should all be declared unusually wealthy. Strange how they all drive around in Benz, BMW, live in 10 million baht houses and their salary is less than 100,000 baht a month.... amazing Thailand...

He got nothing to worry if he served in the military or police; haven for unusual wealth. This guy not exactly poor as he was ex-chairman of TOT and Samart Telecom. Doesn't care too much whether he will flee. Just care that the NACC will investigate ALL unusual wealth without bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there is no one who is 'morally" able to do this! they would all be writing cheques themselves! The country is in pretty good financial shape - amazingly! with the extra revenue they could help those that need it? but why should they change now!
