PHUKET: The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has submitted a request to the Office of the Attorney General to file corruption charges against five former members of the Kamala Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor), including former president Charun Sararak.

 

The move to press charges follows a seven-year investigation that began in 2012 into the construction of canal retaining walls and a road in Moo 3, Kamala, for which a budget of more than B26 million was funded by the government.

 

The five officials stand accused of inflating the project price to solicit more than B3.2 million for their own gain.

Why is it always former officials who get charged?

Never current officials, so people are to believe all current officials are honest/ corruption free.????????

This is something new!

Charging local officials for skimming off the top of infrastructure budgets.

I thought that was the normal business model in this country.

3.2 million I always thought it was 25%

Maybe it's because it becomes more and more difficult by the week to find 'inactive posts'.

It took a seven year investigation to find this out.... Costing more than 3.2 million for sure!

Current officials are still sending money up the ladder. Officials get caught when they don't send a cut of their ill gotten gains up the ladder.

Wow corruption in Thailand? Who would have thought ?
