The opposition Pheu Thai Party on Sunday demanded Gen Prawit Wongsuwon, the caretaker prime minister and director of the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc), tackle the patronage system in the security agency.
The maid abuse scandal was evidence of the patronage system in Isoc at work and possibly the tip of the iceberg, said Pheu Thai spokeswoman Arunee Kasayanont. "The question is how many other cases have existed? Who else should be held responsible for them? And is the Isoc's spending of taxpayers' money worthwhile?" asked Ms Arunee.
