Pheu Thai MP cries foul over corruption watchdog’s bribery finding

[snoop1130]

 

Pheu Thai MP for Thailand’s Muk Dahan province, Anurak Tangpanitarnnont, has described as “hasty” the National Anti-Corruption Commission’s (NACC) decision to find him at fault following an allegation that he demanded a 5-million baht bribe from the director-general of Underground Water Resources Department in exchange for endorsing the department’s budget.

 

NACC Secretary-General Niwatchai Kasemmongkol told the media today (Friday) that it had conducted an investigation after having received a complaint from Sakda Wichiensilp, director-general of Underground Water Resources Department, about the alleged bribery.

 

He said Sakda told them that he received a call from a party-list MP of the Prachapiwat party, who then transferred the line to Anurak, who allegedly demanded the bribe in exchange for the smooth passage of the department’s budget.

Uh-huh.

Public denial.

The first signs.

So if a member of parliament of the Phew Thai party asks for a bribe, the finding of corruption is hasty. How could he be so blatent? He must be new at his job.

he needed more time to go hide at his Mom's house

He didn't have time to get a cake box delivered to the investigators along with his "testimony".

Must have been a very quick investigation.

[Peter pop]

Phone records. Aaah yes, maybe, had not thought of that.

Anything less than five years is 'hasty'.  Look how long the futsal saga has dragged on.  At the end it will just be called a misunderstanding with no punishment.

Maybe soon we will hear about this guy and his 'millions' and expensive cars or other items, maybe 'wrist watches'.... that he has amassed while holding his Gov't position...

PTP allegedly tries to bribe a Prayut government bureau-division.

I'm sorry but the government already has a monopoly on "dumb and dumber."

On the face of the allegation holds no truth.

shut your mouth and settle for 3M  .. you know the game old boy

[bangon04]

[zzaa09]

Even more bizarre and deluded, the NACC is considered an independent watchdog.
