Popular Post webfact Posted January 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2020 Netizens slam govt for appointing MP facing charges as NACC member By The Nation Pareena Kraikup The government has come under fire from Thai netizens over the appointment on Thursday (January 16) of Palang Pracharat member of Parliament Pareena Kraikup, who faces charges of allegedly encroaching on a natural forest reserve, as a commissioner of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). Wongthanong Chainarong-singha, founder of “The Standard” posted on his Twitter account that choosing a corrupt politician to be a commissioner of the NACC is the government’s most disrespectful act towards Thai people as Pareena Kraikup has been charged with alleged land encroachment at a national forest reserve. The Royal Thai Government Gazette’s official website posted an announcement by the House of Representatives on January 16 that Palang Pracharath Party MP from Bangkok, Sira Jenjaka, and Pareena, the party's Ratchaburi MP, have been appointed NACC commissioners. The decision was made at a meeting of the House of Representatives on November 6, 2019, after two former commissioners, Thanasit Kowsurat and Payom Phrompetch, resigned. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha and members of Palang Pracharat Party have been accused of nepotism several times.

Popular Post PatOngo Posted January 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2020 Just picture if they had a heroin smuggler in their ranks! You'd expect there'd be a major outcry by Thai netizens! 8 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unamazedloso Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 its just land encroachment. Its not seen as a big thing unless been able to be blown up in the media. Perhaps not to many people realize that when a new government might be elected thais believe land is up for grabs and they take it! Happened behind my house twice and only this time my wife and i stopped it or atleast got them to stop for now. Its now in the governments hands. No one has been arrested, fined or anything and have actually been allowed to farm atleast one crop because they put in the effort i guess... I really dont understand the mentality of these imoral greedy pigs. This women should be in prison or at the very least be stripped of her job for abusing it. That said all the officials in my area have taken and sold land like this that isnt theirs to sell. I bought 6rai from the mayor and family of that is totally illegal. Didnt know that when buying though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Donutz Posted January 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2020 Seems like a criminal background or at the very least some form of corruption is a requirement to get appointed to any of the fancy government or committee positions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And/or because there's a very limited number of folks in their ranks who have proven publicly that they are capable, ethical & moral, follow democratic principles and are upstanding and respected by both professional folks and the Thai public. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Colin, they really don't care and IMHO until there are real elections, that the military get confined to their barracks and this government gets kicked into jail with no bail nothing will change for the better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grossman Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Might be my attention span that's been degrading over the years, but I still kinda missed whether she was appointed as a NACC commissioner or a member of the house anti-corruption committee or .. both? Not that it would really matter given the whole NACC is rotten to the core to begin with, but isn't it quite convenient that (given she was indeed appointed to NACC) the same foul organization is investigating the case of land belonging to certain wrong people.. Oh my, and I gave way too much credit here; Replace all instances of "she" above with "it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
