NACC official linked to bribery 'must go'Listen to this articleA statement by National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) staff urging a commissioner to resign over bribery allegations involving gold bars has gained traction. The issue was amplified after Prof Emeritus Thongthong Chandransu, a former justice permanent secretary, shared on Facebook a statement issued by civil servants and officials from the NACC Office. In the statement, NACC officials said that a serving commissioner had allegedly been linked to a bribery case involving gold bars weighing a total of 246 baht (3.75 kilogrammes) worth 10 million baht. "The position of NACC commissioner is not a political post and one cannot rely on the argument 'not yet convicted' to cling to office," the statement said. Senator Angkhana Neelapaijit, a former National Human Rights Commission member, shared the statement, noting that while the Senate appoints commissioners of independent agencies like the NACC, it lacks direct removal powers.
