NLA to debate graft scrutiny of politicians’ partners

AN AD HOC committee of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) will today review whether the new corruption law should require an unmarried partner of a political office-holder to submit assets declarations.


Klanarong Chantik, who sits on the NLA ad-hoc committee vetting the Anti-Corruption Bill, said yesterday that his committee members would have to debate several topics, including one concerning partners without a registered marriage. “I personally think that it is going to be difficult to define who would have to submit assets declarations in that case,” he said. 

 

The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) had usually investigated the former partners of political office-holders in the event that they were still financially connected, he added. 

 

“By civil law, they are partners with assets connections,” said Klanarong. 

 

The committee would also have to discuss a clause requiring the Administrative Court to alert the NACC should it accept any complaint about civil servants committing disciplinary offences. 

 

“We will try to conclude our pending topics at Monday’s meeting because we have to present our conclusion to the NLA whip on Tuesday,” he said. 

 

Klanarong expected the Anti-Corruption Bill to be put before the full NLA on Thursday this week.

Yes, It should! I should regard all people disregarding position in society. Corruption must be exterminated everywhere, and not only in political positions. Can´t be that hard to understand.

Indeed. So they might want to consider siblings and servants declarations too :whistling:

I didn't know Prawit had a partner other than Uncle.

then the difference between 'registered marriage' and this version is moot for purposes described hereinabove

Don't worry, they're only going to "mull" this idea....and that after a committee of formed.....but there's too many big names sharing the wealth among friends, so this won't happen.
