MP Pareena given 7 days to return Ratchaburi land

The Agricultural Land Reform Office (ARLO) has ordered Ratchaburi MP Pareena Kraikup of the Phalang Pracharath Party to return 682 rai of her chicken farm in Ratchaburi province, as her claim to the land does not comply with the office’s regulations.

 

ARLO secretary-general Winaroj Sapsongsuk said on Friday (December 6) that his office spent more than a month investigating the land of Pareena after former member of the dissolved Thai Raksa Chart Party, Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, filed a complaint with the Royal Forest Department and urged the inspection of her property for possible encroachment on protected national woodland.

 

Parts of the land in question, located in Rangbua subdistrict, Jombeung district of Ratchaburi province are under jurisdiction of ARLO, an agency responsible for giving out lands to farmers for agricultural purposes.

 

“We found out that Pareena’s ownership of the 682 rai area does not comply with ARLO regulations,” he said. “Although the land is currently used for chicken farming, Pareena who is listed as current owner, is a member of the House of Representative and a director of private organisation, and is therefore not qualified to own the land reserved for farmers.”

 

Pareena received the land in 2005 from her father, ex-Ratchaburi MP Thawee Kraikup who claimed that he bought it from local villagers in 1980.

 

Meanwhile, ARLO’s director of legal office Noppadol Tantimekin said that the office will not yet file a lawsuit against the owner. “We issued a notice to Pareena today and will start legal actions after this 7-day period if the owner has failed to return the land to ARLO,” he said.

Great news. Hope she suffers. 

[Forza2002]

She will appeal against the judgement and the case will be in abeyance for years to come... TIT, she is a monied MP for the ruling party, can't see anything happening to her. Usual verbiage to appease some folks to make it look like there is no favoritism...

Using the word ' owner ' is rather generous considering she has no rights to the land.

 

Still, unlike Thanathorn she is on the right side of the political fence so she will get the kid gloves tretment.

[colinneil]

Yes go after her, start legal proceedings now, not later.

The arrogance of people like her knows no bounds.

If the story is true, top marks to the villagers who apparently scammed Pareena's MP father by selling him the land in 2005. I've got a very famous bridge I am trying to sell. Does anyone have his contact details?

[Reigntax]

Return the land ?. Has she taken it and hidden it somewhere?

They just need to take possession and fence her out and get a court order that she cannot enter or use.

[Eligius]

Can you imagine the horrendous outcry (from the junta-istas) and vicious 'legal' attacks and destruction launched against THANATHORN if he had done such a thing (or even been slightly suspected of such a thing?).

His life would not be worth living ...

I think you should re read the article. He bought the land in 1980 and transferred to her in 2005

It could also be that the villagers were severely intimidated and frightened, to force them to sell the land to her father. 

[neeray]

I think she should stage a giant BBQ as part of her effort to clear the land of chickens.

Lots of mileage to be had. Call it PFC, "finger lickin' good".

If not returned in 7 days ,what will happen? Be given a month and then 

[metisdead]

A troll post lobbying for POTY votes has been removed.

I am sure 7 days will turn into 6 months and then another 6 months and pretty much same fate as the Red Bull hit runner.
