Srisuwan Janya, chairman of the Association of Organisations for the Protection of Thailand's Constitution, said Tuesday he will file a petition to ask the national anti-graft agency to investigate allegations of cronyism among National Legislative Assemb
Srisuwan said that by hiring spouses, children or relatives as assistants, the NLA members may be violating the anti-corruption law as well as PM’s Office regulations on ethics and code of conduct for political office holders.
“The National Council for Peace and Order has made fighting corruption its agenda, yet one of its arms may be committing wrongdoings, so we need to file a petition with the National Anti-Corruption Commission [NACC] to investigate the practice and set standards,” he said.
