Thailand Academicians Condemn Use of TDRI Rice Research Report as Evidence by NACC Sep 09, 2014
Academicians at the Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI) have condemned the National Anti-Corruption Commission's (NACC) act of citing a TDRI rice research report as evidence in its investigations against the former Prime Minister (PM), according to local sources. One of the authors of the rice research report commented in his facebook page that the NACC being a responsible organization involved in preventing corruption cannot use an academic work to support its investigation purposes.He stated that though both TDRI and NACC are referring to the same rice pledging scheme, the purpose of academic studies differs from that of NACC investigation. While the TDRI strives to highlight problematic issues within the policy framework, the NACC's duty is to find evidence of guilt of corruption or negligence, he added.The author also noted that academic reports may use some statistics to prove an assumption, these cannot be used by the NACC to take legal action against anybody. He said the NACC should rather investigate punish the guilty. The Office of the Attorney General halted prosecution of the ex-PM saying it needs more evidences charges against her. The NACC is entrusted with gathering more evidences to prove that she ignored warnings against misdealing in the controversial rice pledging scheme, which brought losses of about 500 billion baht (around $15.6 billion) to the exchequer.
