PHUKET:-- More than 100 residents from Koh Siray, on the east side of Phuket Town, arrived at the Muang Phuket District Office this morning (July 15) in protest, calling for their local village headman to be removed from his position.

 

Shouting and holding placards, the residents called for Maitri Duangchan to be removed from his position as village chief of Moo 1, Rassada.

 

They accused him of corruption and using his position of authority for his own benefit.

Normal practice methinks; it's the only reason they want the position and they are certainly not interested in the welfare of Village people.

He goes around the village and pays the people to Vote for him. Corrupt as possible for normal Election.

This one for sure is way beyond taking advantage. Flat out scr*wing the villagers and needs to be criminally charged.

exactly, the stone throwers here should realize their countries invented corruption and it's more rampant now than ever before lol...

It's crisis everywhere, must be hard for the corrupted leaders to keep the money for themselves.  Maybe next step for the villagers is to open his personal safe and empty it.
