Thread: Senior civil servant faulted for corruption : NACC

The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) faulted a former deputy director general of the Interior Ministry’s Community Development Department on a criminal violation today, for accepting a luxury watch, the value of which exceeds the 3,000 baht limit allowed by law.


The commission will ask the Attorney General to indict Thaweep Butphoe on a charge of corruption, as he accepted a TAG Heuer timepiece, worth Bt85,500, from a person who was congratulating him on his promotion.


He failed to notify his superior about the gift and kept it in his home, returning it only after a complaint was lodged with the NACC three years and eleven months later.


The NACC concluded that he had committed a severe disciplinary violation.

And with one crackdown, the systemic problem of corruption in government was gone.

Didn’t the éminence grise behind Prayuth, a collector of watches, state the 21 odd Rolexes he had in his possession were simply held in safe keeping for his friends.

What a ghastly medieval snakepit this awful country truly is.
