snoop1130 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 72 officials relieved of their duties pending investigations into their conduct A total of 72 officials most of them local administration officials were relieved of their active duties by an order of the chair of the National Council for Peace and Order, pending investigation into their conduct. According to the Royal Gazette which published the NCPO’s order, the 72 officials were divided into five groups which include civil servants; policemen, local administration officials, executives of local administration bodies and tambon officials. No details are available about the names of the officials or the wrongdoings they are suspected to have committed. In the same order, government spokesman Maj-Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd was appointed the acting director-general of Public Relations Department in order to complement the public relations of the government and the NCPO during the transition period. The new appointment will become effective as of October 1. -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2016-09-27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what about some BIG influential drug cartel arrests and their protectors in the services. They would also be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Who is conducting all these 'investigations' and 'probings' ? The amount of people being turned over these days for one thing and another there must be bus loads of 'investigators' pouring all over the country. In the last few months we have been informed of scores of people 'relieved of their duties' but are they suspended without pay ? What we haven't seen so far is one actual court case for anyone or punishment being handed down. Is this all a charade by the Junta to make people believe things are actually being done about corruption ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Sirilaksana Khoman, senior academic consultant and chair of Economic Sector Corruption Prevention at Thailand's National Anti Corruption Commission (NACC). It's her job to investigate and prosecute major corruption cases involving the state sector. She has more than a thousand staff in her department. And they have done nothing worthwhile. Meanwhile, Sirilaksana has just flown first class on Emirates from Bangkok to Napoli, where she has now boarded a very expensive cruise in the Mediterranean. Not suggesting anything untoward with this holiday, just answering who is supposed to be conducting these investigations... Source: AMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldroj Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 So often we get reports of "officials" being shunted to inactive posts, or relieved pending investigations. But, we seldom read reports of any of these people being convicted. It's sort of like all the arrest warrants that are issued for suspected bombers and the like, but we never get to see any prosecutions. At least, this report does include one outcome - Sansern Kaewkamnerd (the junta spokesman) is appointed the acting director-general of the Public Relations Department - definitely a merit selection!

Yes, it's a bit early for some posters to be doing a lap of honour. Let's wait to see how many of the 72 actually appear in court or are dismissed, that's if we ever hear anything again.

A brave man? Walking a thin line? You poor delusional soul. Sadly, the forum rules and several archaic laws of the land preclude most of us smart a^^es from voicing any possible solutions, nor from accurately responding to this drivel. What we are allowed to do is discuss—within the rules and laws—the politics of this country on this public discussion forum, which is somewhat akin to discussing the story of the Titanic without mentioning the iceberg. Some of us use satire and sarcasm to deal with the daily, hourly, inanity - if that's too mirthful for you, or it hurts your delicate sensitivities, then you know what you can do. If you really think he is doing this of his own accord, out of some altruistic love of country, then you're too far gone to even entertain.

I would be surprised if anything happens, there are far more serious things to deal with here, it is not uncommon for officials in the west to have family and friends involved in some types of favoritism - there have been many situations were MP's in Westminster have had family member under their employment earning significant salaries although I believe it has been stopped or brought under scrutiny - you think it is any different here lol The corruption in Thailand that needs to be dealt with runs into billions not a few million here and there, start at the top and work down eventually the message will sink in that it will not be tolerated at any level no matter who you are - but that is a long way off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think someone who has been here for so long would understand the lay of the land. As you failed to comprehend, any discussion of any possible roadmap out of Thailand's woes, any solution to the thievery that has plagued Thailand for decades, is strictly prohibited by law.
