Former transport minister Saksayam Chidchob to be judged by charter court

[webfact]

The Constitutional Court will unveil its verdict on January 17 on the contentious share concealment accusations against former Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob.

Following a marathon six-hour hearing, Saksayam defended himself against all accusations.

 

“I’ve laid bare the truth about my stake in Burijarearn Construction Limited Partnership. I’ve fully explained the matter.”

 

The court spectacle featured an ensemble cast, including Varaporn Thetsen, Supawat Kasemsut, Warangsiri Rakitti, Thitima Klaophimai, and Anchalee Parudram. All players in this high-stakes drama, each testimony contributing to the unfolding narrative.

Perhaps the company he had shares in was awarded contracts by him in his ministerial capacity?

 

Just a guess mind you.....

Surely not.

'The construction firm, a longstanding business venture for the Chidchob family, secured contracts worth billions from Saksayam’s ministry.'  Seems fairly obvious to me without hours of debate.

Much of the debate (discussion/negotiation) could well centre on what happens to those very valuable shares in that lucrative business; and in whose "care" they end up "for safekeeping".
