Complaint against Finance Ministry



Apichai Sangsasi, director of Thai Airways International's Crew General Administration Department, yesterday filed a complaint with the National Anti-Corruption Commission against a selection committee chaired by Finance Ministry permanent secretary Suparut Kawatkul.

The NACC the day before rejected Suparut's appeal against a ruling he had violated the law by appointing deputy director-generals at the Finance Ministry.

Apichai said the committee changed the list of nominations for two key executive positions at THAI without the president's endorsement, in order to benefit certain committee members who had a conflict of interest.

He said that last September 4, the selection committee named himself and Montri Chamriang as executive vice president for operations and business administration, respectively.

However, at another meeting six days later, the committee cancelled the nominations and instead named Porpong Sanpakit and Norahuch Ployyai for the positions.

Upon investigation, the new appointees were found to be connected to some of the committee members, as a brother-in-law and classmates.

Apichai said that prior to the selection committee's meeting, there had been an attempt to distance himself through charges he caused more than Bt10 million in damage to the company via the rental of crew accommodation in Rome.

"I can no longer stand their actions and have decided to file the complaint. Their punishment will depend on the NACC's judgement. I will also file complaints with the Civil Court and the Labour Court. These actions have damaged my reputation even though I've worked for the company for more than 30 years," Apichai said.

Submitted with his complaint were minutes of the selection committee's meetings and other document.
