Opposition targets NACC with court probe over Saksayam assets

13 Sept 06:06 Key points summarised by AI

The opposition will petition the Supreme Court to investigate the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) for alleged malfeasance.
This probe targets the NACC's decision to drop an asset concealment case against former transport minister Saksayam Chidchob, which the opposition claims lacked an in-depth investigation.
Critics argue the NACC's ruling contradicts a 2024 Constitutional Court decision that found Saksayam unqualified for office due to illegal shareholding.
