snoop1130 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Rutchada Suriyakul Na Ayutya Embattled former national park chief Rutchada Suriyakul Na Ayutya was “temporarily dismissed” from government service today (Friday), with immediate effect, after initial findings show there are grounds to support bribe-taking allegations against him. Natural Resources and Environment Permanent Secretary Jatuporn Buruspat, who signed the dismissal order, said that the action is intended to ease pressure on and damage to the image of officials at the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation and to ensure transparency. Thalerngsak Petchsuwan, deputy permanent secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, in his capacity as head of the disciplinary committee, said today that the panel had questioned about 50 people and most of them have given testimonies pointing in the same direction, namely that bribes have been paid to Rutchada, with a handful of them insisting that they paid money to Rutchada in return for images of King Chulalongkorn.

billd766 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 How can you be “temporarily dismissed” from government service today (Friday), with immediate effect. AFAIK you are either dismissed from government service, or you are not dismissed? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of any repercusions for the person/s offering the bribe. I guess they've left the building. Edited February 3, 2023 by rbkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK you are either dismissed from government service, or you are not dismissed? A surname like 'Na Ayutya' has often been seen as meaning an untouchable. Who has he upset? Tell me if I am wrong. Some progress? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then allowed to retire with all the ill-gotten gains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrogaz Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 6 cops are banged up without bail. How come this piece of scum is roaming free, able to intimidate witnesses etc. Not quite as bad as the cops with were convicted of murder and given the death penalty a few years back. They appealed and were released on bail. Unfortunately a key witness died while their appeal was pending, so they escaped unpunished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
