Popular Post snoop1130 Posted Thursday at 09:55 AM Popular Post Share Posted Thursday at 09:55 AM Defence Minister Sutin Klungsang axed 44 of his advisers following bribery allegations. The move came after reports surfaced suggesting that some of his advisers were taking bribes from military units and related agencies. Sutin, who signed the dismissal order on Monday, explained that he was “streamlining his team and optimising the work process.” “Reports of bribery among some defence advisers made me realise that having too many advisers could lead to lapses in administrative oversight.” The decision aims to prevent further damage while the ministry considers potential legal action against the implicated advisers. “Candidates to replace the dismissed advisers are being carefully vetted. After considering feedback from related parties, adjustments will be made to the new advisory team.” This bold move reportedly followed input from senior political, business, and societal figures. Sutin, Thailand’s first civilian defence minister who is not concurrently serving as prime minister, is receiving praise for his transparency and proactive approach. Analysts note that Sutin’s decisive action is a rare example of a minister acknowledging potential corruption within his close circles and taking immediate steps to address it, reported The Nation.

In a mafia the crime boss takes the first cut, then his soldiers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted Friday at 01:00 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:00 AM Unfortunately, in just about every government and every bureaucracy in the world, the notion that 'Less is better' is an alien concept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunjeff Posted Friday at 03:38 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:38 AM So...44 advisers let go for taking bribes, but no mention of investigations, arrests, trials, or punishments. A "bold move" indeed 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it relates to the payments they receive from their hangers on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andycoops Posted Friday at 11:34 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:34 PM It beggars belief that a minister needs 44 advisers, how can he possibly have time to listen to 44 people while carrying out his daily duties. Jobs for the boys, as usual. No doubt 1 or more of them recently advised on the purchase of some electronic gizmo at 3 times the price its available for online.
