webfact Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Former deputy interior minister and former Democrat MP Nipon Boonyamanee has been sentenced to nine years in prison by the Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases, after being found guilty of malfeasance over the procurement of two multi-purpose trucks, worth about Bt51 million, by Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO). The court also revoked his right to contest elections for five years. The offence was committed in 2013, when Nipon was then the mayor of the Songkhla PAO. Nipon refused to pay the Ponlavit Tech Plus Company, which won the bid to supply the PAO with the two trucks, claiming that the company had engaged in price collusion.

Sydebolle Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 It seems to help in political careers in Thailand, if you're a crook and, as other esteemed members of the sitting government prove, once you're out of the slammer you can end up as agricultural minister. How that all works though puzzles me daily ???? ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair does; it has taken them 10 years to get this far. Then there'll be an appeal; then another. Then he'll be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should also be a set daily amount of reparations that you get should you be found 'innocent' on appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retarius Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 So it took 10 years to find him guilty? Justice delayed is justice denied: it acts both ways. 9years and he'll be out on bail tomorrow for another 10 years while the appeal is heard. Sickening. Large scale corruption is usually in the procurements department's. Why can we not have a special investigative team to investigate any procurement over 100,000 baht? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably know he'll be out in 6 months, same as Thaksin will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
