Ex-Kaeng Krachan park chief questions PACC’s arm-chair investigation of him

 

 

Former Kaeng Krachan national park chief Chaiwat Limlikhit-akson has challenged the ruling of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), which found him guilty of malfeasance, for the forced eviction of an ethnic Karen community from the park, and recommended that he be dismissed from government service.

 

In his Line statement, addressed to local media today (Friday), Chaiwat pointed out that, during the investigation of the case, not a single member of the PACC actually set foot in the Karen forest community, Pong Luk Bang Kloy, in Kaeng Krachan national park in Phetchaburi province.

 

Chaiwat and his six subordinates were accused of burning down 100 make-shift houses and rice barns in the community in May 2011, which were allegedly encroaching on park land.

I never set foot in Cambodia during Pol Pots time but I'm pretty certain he was guilty.
