Activist demands publication of NACC findings in Saksayam Chidchob case
13 Sept 07:04Key points summarised by AI
Political activist Srisuwan Janya formally demanded the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) release its findings on former transport minister Saksayam Chidchob's alleged assets concealment.
Srisuwan's action follows the recent conviction of two former NACC commissioners for refusing to disclose findings in a separate high-profile case.
He seeks the NACC's findings for further investigation, asserting his rights under the Official Information Act.
The NACC cleared Saksayam of wrongdoing in April 2024, despite the Constitutional Court ruling him guilty of ethical misconduct in March 2024, which led to his removal from office.
Srisuwan warned he would escalate the case to the Official Information Committee and the Administrative Court if the NACC fails to comply.
