Anti-graft Panel Postpones Ruling on Phreah Vihear Case

The National Anti-Corruption Commission has postponed its ruling on the Preah Vihear joint communique case against the Samak Sundaravej administration. The deputy prime minister for national security sees no need for a Cabinet reshuffle if the panel delivers a guilty verdict despite the inclusion of four Cabinet members as defendants.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission, or NACC, has postponed its ruling on the Samak Sundaravej Cabinet's endorsement of the joint communique that supported Cambodia to list the ancient Preah Vihear Temple as its world heritage site to Septmber 29. The panel said its investigation report is still not completed.

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban urged all sides not to try to predict the outcome of the case and said there is still no need to reshuffle the Cabinet or dissolve the House even though the NACC's ruling could have bearing on the status of four current ministers who were members of the Samak Cabinet.

The four are Deputy PM Sanan Kajornprasart, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti, ICT Minister Ranongruk Suwanchawee and Deputy Finance Minister Pradit Pataraprasit.

Suthep also revealed whips of the government, the Opposition and the Senate will hold a meeting to decide how to proceed with the planned constitution amendment after the prime minister returns from his trip to the United States.

At the same time, Foreign Minister Kasit Priomya said via video conference from the US that he is worried about the morale of his ministry's officials who have also been named as defendants in the case. The minister said he will seek ways to help officials indicted by the NACC after the case is finalized in court.

Kasit also said he and the prime minister did not discuss the clash between the People's Alliance for Democracy and Si Sa Ket residents near the Preah Vihear border last Saturday.

Meanwhile, representative of a civil network, Tul Sitthisomyong, submitted a petition with the NACC seeking legal action against 124 MPs and senators who signed the motion for a charter rewrite. Tul said the law offence has already been committed although they have already withdrawn their names from the petition.

ពួកអ្នកឯងទាំងអស់គ្នានឹងចង់ក៏សាងប្រទេសបួន
ដប់ឆ្នាំហ្នឹងឲ្យអស់រឿងឬអ្វី?វាមិនដួចពួកអាឡប់
ឯងនិយាយទេ។ប្រទេសគេជាប្រទេសអ្នកមាន
ផងក៏គេនៅតែខំធ្វើជារាងរាល់ថ្ងៃចុះពួកអាឡប់
រាល់គ្នាហ្នឹងបានតែនិយាយហើយមិនដែលជួយធ្វើ
អ្វីមួយដល់រាជរដ្ធាភិបាលផងហើយមកចង់ឲ្យប្រ
ទេសលូតលាស់រហាស់វាមិនខ្មេះទេអាឡប់អើយ។
បើពួកអាឡប់ឯងគ្រាន់បើម្តេចក៏មិនធ្វើឲ្យក្រុមគ្រួ
សារអាឡប់ឯងឲ្យវាមានជាងគេទៅ។កុំឲ្យកូនចៅ
អាឡប់ឯងវានៅរហេមរហាមទៀតកុំឲ្យរដ្ធាភិបាល
លោកគាត់ខ្វល់តែរឿងអាឡប់ឯងអូខេ!!!
