Jumpol sacked as grand chamberlain

The Royal Household Bureau Tuesday night has issued an order to sack Pol Gen Jumpol Manmai, a Grand Chamberlain for security and special activities, from service, effective from February 27.

The order was signed by Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha. 

In the statement of the Bureau, it said Jumpol was fired for committing grave misconduct. 

It said Jumpol committed inappropriate behaviour and abused his position to gain personal and political benefits in a way that jeopardises security.

Earlier this month, Pol Gen Jumpol as a former deputy police chief and a couple have been charged with encroaching on the Tablan National Park in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Wang Nam Khiao district.
