NLA members must be above suspicion
Play
Like Caesar's wife, National Legislative Assembly members must be above suspicion - for if they themselves are corrupt, how can they cleanse our society of this scourge?
Thus, I back Anti-Corruption Commission Secretary-General Sansern Polijiak and National Reform Council member Rojana Tositrakul in calling for members of the public to come forward if they have information about sources of suspicious assets. I also back Rojana’s recommendation that the Anti-Corruption Commission should reward such informants.
But I would go further than Polijiak and Rojana. Just as those who give key information leading to the capture of criminals are protected and rewarded by the state, informants who enable us to bring corrupt NLA members to trial should be given any of their undeclared assets in full upon conviction, tax-free, plus any protection they may need, including new identities or jobs.
Let the NLA show the way on how immense wealth can be legally acquired, and how they are worthy of the task of ridding our beloved country of master criminals.
