Rice Department Director General Natthakit Khongthip told the media today that it was his initiative to hatch a plot to ensnare serial petitioner Srisuwan Janya, because he was very annoyed by his relentless attempts to expose alleged corruption in his department, despite the fact that he had been cleared of the allegation.

 

He also said that he had painstakingly collected incriminating evidence against Srisuwan, including ordering a CCTV system to be installed at the Rice Department when he learned that the target come to his office to have coffee with him.

 

The evidence was submitted to the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission and the National Anti-Corruption Commission before the two watchdogs decided to launch a sting operation to nab Srisuwan at his house in Pathum Thani province last Friday.

So who is trying to ensnare who here, the supposed bribe was left

hanging on the outside of the gate of Srisuwan Janya ,anyone can

do that and say they are paying a bribe .

 

Srisuwan Janya seems to be a pain in the @rse for a lot of people

with maybe something to hide , but i don't think they have done an

airtight case to get what the want.

The Rice Department is a small department in the Agriculture Ministry, allocated about a 2 billion baht budget each year. This year, however, the department was allotted with 15 billion baht, to fund a program to cut the production costs of rice farming. Management of the fund has, however, been transferred to the Bank of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives

 

Seems like a skimmer scamming a con artist..

Whatever. But he didn't get fat from rice alone...
