Education official sues accusers in payment row

In her complaint, Sasithara said Prasaeng Mongkholsiri falsely reported to Sakda that the permanent secretary illegally approved a Bt122million payment for school supplies when she headed the Office of the Vocational Education Commission, and that Sakda repeated the false claims on several occasions in interviews given last week.
Prasaeng’s report claims that Sasithara approved the payment despite lacking several key documents, and that she failed to order a probe to find out why the documents went missing before she signed the approval.
The Criminal Court accepted the complaint, and scheduled a session at 1pm on July 30 to hear from both Sakda and Prasaeng.
