Former EC secretarygeneral to appeal termination
Play
Election Commission (EC) secretary-general Puchong Nutrawong Wednesday vowed to appeal against the commission's decision to terminate his employment because he failed his annual performance evaluation.
The decision went into effect on Tuesday, and Puchong has 15 days to appeal.
He said that if the EC insisted on removing him, he would turn to the Administrative Court to seek justice. He went on to claim that his work was met with interference, even though as EC secretary-general he had the power to transfer officials. He added that the EC members also freely allocated funds to appoint advisers and specialists, with the office shouldering up to Bt2 million per month to cover their salaries.
