They need to trace the money first - it's important to find out where the money came from ,how it was collected,who handled it.

If the money was pilfered from government coffers or never made it into govt accounts ,then a wholesale change in the way the money is collected in the future needs to be undertaken.Remember , any money collected by govt officials is for the benefit of all thai people.Any money misappropriated to buy positions,votes or other party support is illegal and obviously robs the country of a free election process,competent ministers,fair and even policing.

Might, could, should, maybe.....but at the end of the day it will be " no further action required".

Nobody knows the true extent of the corruption and rot. But, it is likely massive, systemic and beyond belief. It is all about the money. That is all these guys worship. It is their golden calf. 

 

Whatever can be done to get rid of this spactacularly toxic party the better. And if it is done in such a way as to humiliate and disgrace Prawit and Prayuth even better. They richly deserve that, after nearly destroying their own county, through sheer greed, power mongering and ignorance. It would be even better if they could be brought to trial and imprisoned. Though, that is likely just a fantasy. 

 

The regressive dinosaurs need to go. And let us hope and pray there are younger, more forward thinking, more capable, and less selfish people to take their place. 

So true.

Yet, the same old corrupted cycles continue on. No actions to resolve such shenanigans is ever followed through. 

No movement of revolution or change. Just moot talk.

Covid stopped the protests in their tracks. It was a dream scenario for the army, goons. Now? With the numbers continuing to drop, will the momentum for change pick up again? The emergency decree is now a total farce.

Yet, mass gatherings and continued street protests do little, if at all, to change anything - never have. 

If the good people really want change and continued rebellions to resist.......they have to unify, as a broad population collective, to stop participating in the systems that repress. As in: living one's protest/be the change one wants to see - for sure, these types of activities will be a struggle and painful - but in the long run the results can be bountiful.

This sort of thing isn't restricted to any one party - it is uniformly distributed throughout Thai politics.

They seem to be in trouble for doing what everyone else is likely to be doing.

A fine example of corruption at the highest level.
