Prime Minister Prayut Chanocha has invoked Article 44 of the interim charter to suspend Chiang Mai Provincial Administrative Organisation president Bunlert Buranupakorn from duty.
The suspenction took effective Tuesday when the National Council for Peace and Order chief’s order was published. The order announced the fifth name list of state officials who have been suspended from duty pending graft probe .
“Security officials have found that some state officials of some local administrative organisations may have committed offences related to the referendum law and the matter must be dealt urgently to prevent it from disturbing peace and order or incurring damage to the state,’’ the statement said.
Bunlert is suspended from duty without pay till the order is changed otherwise. The order also stated that concerned officials carry out probe quickly and report the PM if they find that Bunlert is not involved in any crimes.
