PM: Transfer not judgement of guilt

BANGKOK, 29 June 2016 (NNT) - Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has reiterated that high-ranking attorneys in Samut Sakhon have been transferred for transparency in the investigation into a case involving them. He confirmed they had not yet been found guilty.

The PM siad on Tuesday that the transfer of both Na Thawi attorney and the deputy attorney of Samut Sakhon did not mean that they were guilty. The two officials were transferred due to slow performance.

It was necessary to transfer those involved from the area since the problem of human trafficking had a great national impact, said Gen. Prayut.

Minister of Justice Gen. Paiboon Khumchaya said the transfer was in line with the proceedings of the government. Some of the officials who had been transferred were not guilty of corruption but they had failed to follow the government's policy, the minister explained.

Deputy Spokesman of the Office of the Attorney-General Prayut Phetkhun said the office had set up a panel to interrogate the three offocials in Samut Sakhon who had been transferred.

More drama to follow.

If it's slow performance somebody should be looking in the mirror.

Oh, what about his landmark 12 core values to be recited daily.

“…the problem of human trafficking had a great national impact…”

A somewhat conceited and self-centred interpretation that is more concerned with how the international community "sees through" Thailand’s unsympathetic attitude towards its refugees and immigrant workers (and how they are exploited).

For the most part, these people are treated as “invisible” in every regard except as a source of cheap labour.

In this instance, we are told that certain (2 or 3???) officials have been transferred for transparency, due to slow performance. Probably so slow that they “could not be seen” to be doing anything!

We are also assured they were not guilty of corruption, so in keeping with the invisible/transparent theme of this news item, maybe it might be more appropriate to have said that these officials “were not be seen” to be corrupt.

at least not until we see how big an envelope/cake box they offer to the ones investigating
