Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha maintained Monday he has no concern about scrutiny of his wealth, saying he was confident about details of his assets reported to the anti-graft agency.
Prayut also promised to fully cooperate “in line with the law”, over the scrutiny of his assets.
“If I were not confident, I would not have disclosed the actual details. It’s up to you if you will believe it. I have cooperated well already. You should also ensure fairness to all,” he said.
The prime minister and his wife earlier declared combined assets of Bt128.6 million in assets and 654,745 baht in debts, according to information released by the National Anti-Corruption Commission recently.
It was reported that Prayut’s asset declaration included a deposit of Bt540 million in May last year. The money was given to him by his father, retired Colonel Prapat, who earlier sold a 50 rai plot of land in Bangkok’s Bang Bon district for Bt600 million to a property company, Isra News Agency reported.
