NCPO to declare assets 'on a voluntary basis'
Play
Members of the junta may submit asset declarations if they want to show their sincerity in working for the country, National Anti-Corruption Commission secretary-general Sansern Poljiak said Monday.
He was responding to a remark by the ruling National Council for Peace and Order’s deputy chief General Paiboon Koomchaya, who is in charge of the NCPO’s legal affairs, that the junta members were ready to submit statements of assets and liabilities.
Sansern said that as council members were not required by law to submit asset declarations, members of the NCPO would submit declarations on a voluntary basis – because they are not bound to disclose their assets to the public.
Sansern said the NACC would discuss whether members of the National Reform Council (NRC) would have to submit a declaration on their assets. He said that members of parliament in 2007 did not submit such statements.
