Siripong denies family graft claimsSiripong: Weighing up a legal responseSiripong Angkasakulkiat, the Bhumjaithai Party deputy leader and MP for Si Sa Ket, has rejected allegations linking his family to irregularities in state project awards, calling the claims baseless and politically motivated. He said the company cited in the allegations -- Thaicharoen Sisaket Limited Partnership -- had been operating long before he entered politics. Mr Siripong also rejected suggestions that family connections should prevent relatives from running legitimate businesses. Asked whether he would pursue legal action, Mr Siripong said his legal team was reviewing the matter. Mr Siripong also suggested the criticism reflected "old‑style political tactics" aimed at discrediting rivals before a new administration begins work.
