The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has been encouraged to directly request information from Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra regarding her father, the de facto leader of the Pheu Thai party,

 

Thaksin Shinawatra's treatment at the Police Hospital. Thai Liberal leader Seripisut Temiyavej has urged the NACC to obtain concrete details as they have yet to receive the necessary information from hospital authorities.

 

Prime Minister Paetongtarn refrained from commenting when questioned about the NACC's efforts to acquire details surrounding her father's medical care.

 

Thaksin, embroiled in multiple lawsuits, is accused of wielding excessive influence over Thailand's Pheu Thai party members.

 

Seripisut suggested that the NACC might also approach Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, who oversees military and police affairs.

 

Phumtham is considered a close ally of Thaksin, who is alleged to have overstated his illness, securing a six-month stay in a hospital instead of serving his year-long prison sentence for previous misconduct upon returning from self-exile last year.

 

Furthermore, Seripisut declined to testify before the House Committee on National Security on Thursday regarding Thaksin's alleged misuse of medical privileges.

 

He cited concerns about revealing "factual, significant secrets" to committee members who are also Pheu Thai MPs potentially loyal to Thaksin.

 

Previously addressing an NACC panel on this matter, Seripisut admitted to visiting Thaksin at the hospital twice before his parole release earlier this year.

 

His long-standing acquaintance with Thaksin dates back to their days as fellow graduates of the Police Academy, even if their careers followed different paths within the police force.

 

The NACC's investigation into Thaksin’s hospital stay remains a point of contention amidst political scrutiny and ongoing legal battles, reported Thai Newsroom.

Let's be realistic, we know he diddled the system with the help of other dodgie dishonest officials by feigning health issues.

We also know SFA will come out of any investigation.

Good, let her explain what she did and knew. And "I don't know" or "I have to ask my father what I know" are not valid answers. 

[Emdog]

How about asking the prime minister(s) who were in office when this farce happened? Did she have any sort of political then, other than family name and all that comes with that...?

National police chief Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet stated that the decision to submit former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's medical records to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) rests with the Police General Hospital.

This follows reports that the NACC has issued a third request for the records as part of its investigation into Thaksin's detention at the hospital, which has yet to provide the information.

Pol Gen Kitrat noted that while he oversees the hospital in his role as national police chief, the authority to decide on releasing the records lies with the hospital's managing committee.

He explained that if the release is deemed to infringe on the patient's personal rights, the records may be withheld. The committee will make the determination, and inquiries should be directed to the Police General Hospital.

He also said that he had instructed those involved to act in compliance with the law and relevant regulations.
