Nam Yim Yaem said the AEC would send letters telling agencies that have suffered losses because of cases of irregularities or corrup¬tion under the ousted Thaksin Shinawatra government to file complaints against the wrongdo¬ers.

The AEC had told the Transport Ministry and Airports of Thailand Plc to file complaints in the case of corruption in the procurement of CTX 9000 bomb scanners for Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

It also informed the Finance Ministry to file a complaint over the land purchase by Khunying Pojaman, Thaksin's wife.

However, no agency had taken action yet, he said.

Under the anticorruption law, parties that have suffered damage need to file complaints about or against suspected wrongdoers, including people holding political positions. That allows the AEC to send cases, after investigation, to the AttorneyGeneral before mat¬ters go to court.

The AEC would send letters to the related damaged parties in the case of alleged irregularities in the procurement of the power network for Suvarnabhumi Airport.

And Auditor General Jaruvan Maintaka, an AEC member, would inform the damaged party again about the Pojaman Shinawatra's purchase of land on Ratchadapisek Road, he said.

If the agencies take no action, the AEC would send a letter to Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont, in charge of govern¬ment agencies, to urge the agencies to act. If they still failed to act, the AEC would file a malfeasance charge against them, he said.

He said if the agencies needed to study inquiries into the cases, they could study the AEC reports - and the AEC would send these to the agencies now.
