Supa Piyajitti selected as new NACC member



BANGKOK, 10 April 2014 (NNT) – The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has appointed Deputy Permanent Secretary for Commerce Supa Piyajitti as a new commissioner, replacing a retiring member.

The NACC’s selection committee convened on Wednesday to vote for a candidate who would replace outgoing commissioner Jaidet Pornchaiya after he had reached the retirement age of 70. As a result, Ms Supa came out on top with two votes, which were more than two-thirds of the total.

Ms Supa’s name will now be presented to the Senate for approval at its next assembly, after which royal endorsement will also be sought.

While serving as head of the subcommittee scrutinizing the government’s rice pledging scheme, Ms Supa was known for her audacious move in uncovering evidence of corruption in the controversial scheme. She was sacked from the chairperson’s post afterwards.

sounds like a great nomination, she is honest and prepared to do the hard yards to get to the truth but you can bet the ptp/reds will chuck a wobbly over her nomination, they dont like people that are honest...... especially when you consider she was the only one that was prepared to tell the truth about the rice scheme and the results, the ptp tried everything to silence her, couldnt ask for anyone better to be in the NACC.

"Supa Piyajitti"

Sounds like a motorbike to me.

This has already started a movement by ptp to prevent this ladies credentials being presented to the senate. Another one of those people who did not meet the expectations nor requirments of ptp for their tunnel to the gold vault. With her knowledge and national exposure up to this point, who would dare go on record as opposing her? Okay, wrong question under present circumstances.

Absolutely wonderful choice. This was the woman who first brought the Pheu Thai corruption in the rice scheme forward, and having done that honourable deed for her fellow Thai's was probed and sacked by the the Dubai scumbag puppets PM and the equally idiotic Kittarat. Karma is a sweet justice. Suck on that Yingluck big time....and watch the door does not kick your arse on the way out.

I am not sure what a "chuck a wobbly" means, but it sounds like something they have already done. Thai politics at its best.

Great choice, Thaksin/PT hate her for finding evidence of corruption and not bowing down to their dictates.

"While serving as head of the subcommittee scrutinizing the government’s rice pledging scheme, Ms Supa was known for her audacious move in uncovering evidence of corruption in the controversial scheme. She was sacked from the chairperson’s post afterwards."

Very telling. We can't have people finding out the truth now can we.

If two votes were more than two-thirds of the total then this means that this comittee actually consists of two people.

Appointing someone who was sacked for exposing the truth, in a subcommittee set up presumably with that very intent ? Couldn't possibly be a better candidate. For those who are calling this " political ", I'll tell you what political is. Political is getting sacked by a party when misdeeds by them that they do not wish to be made public are seen for what they are.

That's political.

Sounds Supa to me..... and to anyone else who likes to see the anti corruption committee do what it supposed to do.

Of course there will be some very rich Thai officials who won't agree.

Seriously? They select their own members? Sounds like the recipe for corruption.

Oh boy! Someone in Dubai sprayed his morning latte all over his keyboard when he read this news!

They tried to intimidate and discredit this woman, when she was doing her last job with courage and integrity. I guess that really backfired, didn't it?

Yep.... chalk up another of the Suthep/Abhisit clan on the " independent...neutral" Commission...and then with the new Senator elect Jongchai Thiengtham who wants to be the upper house speaker... just a continuation of the dismantling of a fair and equitable body started in 2006... the never ending coup... and the beat goes on... more power too them... if your public allows you to stack the deck...som nom na... they get what they deserve...one day.. maybe not in this lifetime but when education is truly a desire... and history and information can be freely interpreted... the truth will be known and these cowboys all exposed 250-138= _____...

so would you suggest that the pt government (or any sitting government) appoint the members of the NACC or any anti corruption body?

Oh dear... Oh dear...

This is the last thing the Thaksin, YL / PTP and UDD need.

The actual whistle blower that essentially blew the lid on the whole rice scam.

Not only did she spill the beans last year, but she also pointed out that the government lied about the losses.

She has the entire accounting knowledge seeing as she was actually head of accounting for the scheme, and knows all the details that will hang everyone involved.

She will also know about any and all cover ups in the figures, and now she takes all this knowledge with her to her new position in the NACC.

She is the last person in Thailand that the government needed to be transferred to that position.

Looks like the senate are anything but pro-Thaksin regime.

A very very black day indeed for the red camp.

You can't exactly call having a 24 carat solid gold witness with immense credibility on the actual commission that is investigating all the fraud.... 'a coup'.

What will you red lot do now????....... say she will bring 'fake' evidence?

Oh boy! Someone in Dubai sprayed his morning latte all over his keyboard when he read this news!

They tried to intimidate and discredit this woman, when she was doing her last job with courage and integrity. I guess that really backfired, didn't it?

No doubt.

I wonder why they don't put Sondhi and Suthep on the committee too.

Couldn't they just have called her to give evidence?

"While serving as head of the subcommittee scrutinizing the governments rice pledging scheme, Ms Supa was known for her audacious move in uncovering evidence of corruption in the controversial scheme. She was sacked from the chairpersons post afterwards."

It's truly amazing how so much of PT's arrogant "do what we say and keep your mouth shut about our ineptness/corruption" approach to governing Thailand has come back to bite them on the derrière.

P.S. @seajae "chuck a wobbly", brilliant. Haven't heard that in years. Nice one.

Yes, and I'm guessing there are some serious wobblies / tantrums going on in many red oriented / paymaster oriented back rooms right now? Whilst at the same time the end looms.

Well the military Junta did exactly that, hence the obvious partisan politics at play here.

Someone that sits on a Commission that decides on Corruption or Decides on Elections has to be as squeaky clean as possible and has to be vetted publicly otherwise it matters not what side you take there will always be those who claim corruption there as well...

On October 6th, 2011 Kittiratt said the government would probably go if losses accumulated beyond 60 billion baht. Seems like they should have gone 5 times over then, but heay, Kittiratt has been known to lie.

​When Supa suggested that losses may be upwards of 260 billion baht that was the last thing the PTP needed to be made public. The PTP hid all the figures and worked extremely hard in ensuring the voters and the tax payers had no idea of the money trial. It was going to be as transparent as the 2.2 trillion baht infrastructure loan was going to be if successfully acquired.

So when Supa came out and told the truth she was transferred by Kittirat. So to summarize this Supa who told the truth was punished and yinglucks reaction was to investigate her and NOT the scheme. Kittiratt who told a "white lie" was not punished and yingluck defended him saying "he had good intentions for the country"

So PTP logic dictates that lying is "good intentions for the country", telling the truth will get you transferred and investigated.

That is PTP logic right there.

Congratulations Supa. You are biased and that is why you got the job. You are biased in your yearning to uncover the truth and fight for justice. Well done.

Supa selected as NACC member

Simple explanation - She proved she stood for truth and justice by revealing losses and corruption in the rice scheme.

Complicated explanation - See above

That would have to be the most complicated explanation I think I have read for anything so far in Thai politics.

Have you heard of "Occam's razor"? The fewer the assumptions that are made the better.

I dread to ask your explanation of why the chicken crossed the road and I am sure it would involve the DEM's somehow as well!

Oh boy! Someone in Dubai sprayed his morning latte all over his keyboard when he read this news!

Fab4, actually, as much as I don't want to, I have to agree with you (and you know I don't want to agree with you). Supa should be a witness, not on the committee.

First and foremost, before everything, corruption has to be proven without a shadow of a doubt. If this is done, then it needs to be proven that YL, as Chairperson of the Rice Committee, was forewarned that there may be corruption being committed. Here, as a witness, showing her independency, Supa should be allowed to testify.

If YL is truly guilty of looking the other way while corruption was taking place under her nose, then a Kangaroo Court isn't needed.

Do you know for sure that they didn't?

They have called many witnesses over the last year or more, it would seem quite likely given her previous position she was called.

And probably took documentation with her.

It should also be noted that she wont be taking up her position with the NACC till after the decision on the rice pledging has been made so she wont have a say(vote) on that.

Her honesty however will undoubtedly be useful in future cases.
