THE Association for the Protection of Thai Constitution filed a complaint with the Office of Ombudsman Tuesday calling for a probe into Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his deputy Wissanu Krea-ngam for appointing members of Wissanu's family to the Nat
Srisuwan Janya, the association’s secretary-general, said Wissanu may have acted with a conflict of interest in appointing Air Vice Marshal Chalermpol Krea-ngam and Dusit Krea-ngam, his brothers as NRSA members.
He said the appointment of the two could be deemed to violate Article 13(2) of the Ombudsman Act and PM’s directives on political office-holders’ ethics.
He said the PM appointed 77 police and military officers – up to 38 per cent of places in the Steering Assembly. The NRSA should have more diversity of professionals and not people from the same families.
