Probe NACC chief, says ex-senator

Former senator Reungkrai Leekijwatana yesterday said he would request the Senate House Speaker tomorrow to probe if National Anti-Corruption Commission secretary-general Klanarong Chantik had correctly declared his assets and debts to the authority.

Reungkrai said he had the right by law to submit such a request after Klanarong’s wife was accused of issuing an undated cheque for Bt1.9 million, but failing to pay the debt. He said the case merited a Senate probe to find out whether the Bt1.9-million cheque was already included in the graft fighter’s asset and debt declaration to the authority when he took the NACC office. The probe should look into whether a failure by Klanarong to include it in his declaration could be deemed a violation of the law, he added.
