BHUMJAITHAI MP NATCHANON Srikorkua is currently charged with perpetrating a severe violation of the code of political ethics for which the Supreme Court will hand out a ruling against him sooner or later.
National Anti-Corruption Commission Secretary-General Sarot Puengrampan confirmed today (Jan. 2) that the anti-graft agency has formally held the Bhumjaithai MP of Songkhla guilty of perpetrating the severe breach to the ethics code by returning a personal favour to one of his entourage members whom he had officially named an “expert” with the use of the taxpayer’s money for his monthly salary during a previous term of the House of Representatives.
The unnamed “expert” attached to Natchanon had allegedly paid part of an estimated 953,000 baht in cash for the southern lawmaker’s medical treatments at Phayathai II hospital in 2019 in exchange for his having been named “expert” attached to the elected lawmaker.
The NACC has recently resolved to forward the case against the Bhumjaithai MP via the Office of the Attorney-General to Supreme Court judges in charge of criminal lawsuits against persons with political positions for the final ruling, according to the agency’s secretary-general
