snoop1130 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Charter Court rules Saksayam’s ministerial post ended on March 3rd last year The Constitutional Court ruled by 7 votes to 1 today that former Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob’s post as a minister ended on March 3rd last year, after it was discovered that he owned shares, through a nominee, in a construction company that was awarded a contract with a state agency. The dissenting vote was cast by Constitutional Court Judge Udom Sittiwirattham, who said that Saksayam’s position as a minister did not end in accordance with Section 170 of the Constitution. The court said that the shares, which are owned, on paper, by an employee of the Buri Charoen Construction Company, identified as Suphawat Kasemsut, were actually owned by Saksayam and that Suphawat was just a nominee.

In my experience, most, if not all of them play this game with nominee companies and awarding mates contracts, it's how they get so filthy rich on government salaries. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamnutsak Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 He got off lightly. Not even a slap on the wrist. Does his brother, the current Minister of Education, own shares in this company? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I'm just staggered the law was upheld against this Hi-So. No mention of any punishment which would deter the other 98% of the Government crooks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision on Pita's shareholding case is due this month, not sure I'd be viewing the Chidchob decision in isolation in this instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I reckon this is a 'see, we treat all equally under our rulings" moment in readiness for their decision on Pita. They have picked a very easy target to do this.
