NACC ordered to disclose findings regarding General Prawit’s luxurious wristwatches

14 Sept 22:15 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Supreme Administrative Court has mandated the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to disclose its investigation findings on Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan's luxury wristwatches within 15 days, deeming the NACC's prior refusal a dereliction of duty.
The order comes despite the NACC previously clearing General Prawit, who claimed the 22 watches were borrowed from a deceased friend and returned, and despite the NACC's initial concerns about facing penalties for public disclosure.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
