“Blue sky after the storm”: Senator Porntip

[webfact]

 

Senator Khunying Porntip Rojanasunan has criticised the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), after the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases cleared her and nine former colleagues at the Justice Ministry’s Central Institute of Forensic Science on Tuesday of corruption charges, related to the procurement of six GT-200 bomb detectors 14 years ago, which turned out to be fake.

 

The court ruled that there was no evidence whatsoever to suggest that Khunying Porntip or the nine co-defendants were involved in malpractice or sought ill-gotten gains from the deal, as charged by the NACC.

 

In her “X” and Facebook posts, after being acquitted, Khunying wrote that, today, we have finally been cleared of wrongdoing.

 

“Throughout the past 14 years, there were attempts to communicate and to create negative news claiming that I and the Central Institute of Forensic Science were the cause of the procurement deal and damage, despite the fact that several other security agencies also made procurements of the same device,” she wrote.

She was one of the people who vouched for them working, despite, by her own admission, never having tested one.

Thailand bought millions of Pounds worth of these novelty golf ball finders. The guy that sold them, Jim McCormack, was sent to jail in the UK. You will see no similar justice here as pockets were lined. 

Another "remote substance detector" device, the Global Technical GT200, has come under scrutiny in Thailand in the wake of the controversy over the ADE 651. The ******* **** reports that the GT200 is virtually identical to the ADE 651 and has been described by critics as a "divining rod" which uses "controller cards", like the ADE 651, to find explosives. The **** attributes the death of several Royal Thai Police officers to its repeated failures to detect explosives.

It could be viewed that she is partly responsible for those deaths. Useless muppet.

And the money already divided up and spent.

From Wikipedia:
 

The GT200 was used extensively in Thailand.Reportedly, over 800 GT200 units were procured by Thai public bodies since 2004; these include the Royal Thai Army's purchase of 535 units for combating the South Thailand insurgency and another 222 units for use in other areas, the Royal Thai Police's purchase of 50 units for use in Police Region 4 (Khon Kaen), 6 units acquired by the Central Institute of Forensic Science and an equal number acquired by the Customs Department, the Royal Thai Air Force's purchase of 4 units, and the single unit acquired by the Chai Nat police.
 

According to Lt Gen Daopong Rattansuwan, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Royal Thai Army, each GT200 bought by the army cost 900,000 baht (£17,000), rising to 1.2 million baht (£22,000) if 21 "sensor cards" were included with it. In total, Thailand's government and security forces have spent between 800 and 900 million baht (US$21 million) on the devices. Figures updated in 2016 claim that the Thai government spent 1.4 billion baht on the purchase of 1,358 devices between 2006 and 2010. 

Even after the efficacy of the device was debunked by Thai and foreign scientists, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, then army chief, declared, "I affirm that the device is still effective." The Bangkok Post commented that, "The GT200 case was a unique scandal because the devices...seemed to fool only the people closely connected to their sale and purchase."
