NACC sets sights on Witoon over B30m kickback demand allegation

Witoon: Could face prosecution

Former deputy Democrat Party leader Witoon Nambutr could face prosecution for allegedly demanding 30 million baht in kickbacks related to a state utility construction project in 2013 and 2014, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) says.

NACC secretary-general Niwatchai Kasemmongkol said on Tuesday the commission found grounds to the allegations against Mr Witoon, a former Democrat MP for Ubon Ratchathani, when he served as a member of a House committee scrutinising a budget bill for 2014. Further details will be provided, Mr Niwatchai said. An NACC source said the commission could charge Mr Witoon and four others with malfeasance and for demanding 30 million baht in kickbacks related to the utility construction project.
