Initial probe finds no bribery in CCTV project at Parliament

Pornpetch Wichitcholchai, president of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), said Tuesday that although no issues had been uncovered, a fact-finding panel would be set up Wednesday to look into the case further.
If the panel found irregularities, state authorities involved would face disciplinary action and individuals who had since retired could still face prosecution along with other wrongdoers outside the office, he said.
The allegations were exposed by the United States Justice Department, which has reportedly said that bribes were paid to some people who claimed to be advisers on the Thai Parliament’s CCTV camera procurement project, which was carried out in 2006.
