Popular Post Thaiwrath Posted September 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2019 I think you can more or less guarantee "The untouchables" were not part of the 80. Why not reveal the <deleted> lot, as doing just 80 makes a complete mockery of the report. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unamazedloso Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I want to see the worth of the majority of kanchanaburi officials! Some of them purposely drive beaten up cars but they have frightening amounts of land all of which originally was public/forest/army land. Some of these people are on an 8k a month wage yet just built million plus houses on multiple plots of land and are travelling overseas every couple of months. Disgusting! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole unholy bunch of previous junta ministers are excluded to declare their assets by their own NACC. The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has reported that the Prime Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, and several cabinet ministers who worked in the previous government are not required to submit new declarations of assets and liabilities to the commission. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you click on the link in the story: Yes, I noticed that, Klaus (above). How very convenient. Not that anything truly revealing would be disclosed anyway - or even if it were, it would not affect the junta in the slightest. They are in situ for all eternity (unless the Thai ACT ...). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever more the reason why he is not disclosing like all other elected MPs with a little help from the friendly NACC. The system follows a set of rules whereby the first disclosure is made public (but not always in a very public way - indeed if journalists had not see the current list on the board it was pinned to for a period of X days, it would have been removed and not necessarily have been publicly viewable after that ) its also published when the role in public service is completed. The interim yearly disclosures are to the NACC for them to vet for unexplained increases but not made public. Many governments have a similar system but do not "publish" publicly. They all should IMHO, anyone in public service (incl civil servants) above a minimal rank should. I worked in the civil service for a few years, and had to conform myself (but not publicly disclosed due to privacy laws in the country I worked).

cliveshep Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Wow, being a Thai Army General really pays well doesn't it? I didn't realise Thai Army pay was so generous, especially for an army that only ever fights it's own citizens so no element of personal danger either.
