NACC may question Ground Water Resources Dept. head about alleged graft

 

 

Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) may invite the Director-General of the Ground Water Resources Department to provide more information about his allegation that some members of the House budget scrutiny sub-committee demanded kickbacks, in exchange for the approval of his department’s budget.

 

NACC Deputy Secretary-General Niwatchai Kasemmongkol said today that media reports of an allegation are insufficient for the commission to launch an investigation, until more information is available. This means that the department head, Mr. Sakda Wichiensilp, may be questioned, to determine whether there are grounds to the allegation.

 

He explained that it is not possible for the NACC to summon or invite anyone to provide information about alleged corruption simply because there was a report in the media.

It's a wonderful word 'May' 

 

It's kinda like could, might, perhaps, could perhaps, might possibly ....... but ultimately, here in Thailand, it really means  'Won't'   ????

If he says there were kickbacks then you could pretty well believe it. 

It has nothing to do with what the media say.
