of course he is; the modus operandi

"Regarding General Prawit, Chalerm explained that the scandal over the “borrowed” expensive wristwatches was already over, after the National Anti-Corruption Commission cleared him of any wrongdoing."

 

 

Which appears to have some very corrupt people within it's ranks ! 

Farcical.

Yes, the problem this worthy MP has, is that the institution government itself has been so corrupt for so long but I doubt anybody with a brain has the slightest inclination to believe anything that  an MP says.

 

Most Thai MPs are fairly canny characters, they have to be in order to be as corrupt as they are rumoured to be, and so the likelihood of them hearing anything for the first time from a newspaper appears to be extremely low.

 

On balance, I think I'd be inclined to believe that Mr Sampong doth protest too much.
