Hej
Chuan Leekpai kunde man läsa det här om på Wikipedia.
Corruption
Although generally regarded as relatively clean and honest when compared to other Thai administrations, Chuan's government found itself plagued with corruption scandals and rumors. Key cases of corruption included:
Rakkiat Sukhthana, Health Minister, was charged with taking a five million THB (125,000 USD) bribe from a drug firm and forcing state hospitals to buy medicine at exorbitant prices. After being found guilty, he jumped bail and went into hiding.
Han dömdes och skyddades alltså inte av "klubben"
Suthep Thaugsuban, Minister of Transport and Communications, whose brokering of illegal land deals caused the fall of the Chuan 1 government, was linked to abuse of funds in setting up a co-operative in his southern province of Surat Thani.
Chuan tog sitt ansvar och utlyste nyval-de följande administrationerna valde att inte fullfölja målet mot Suthep. De skyddades inte av "klubben"
The "edible fence" seed scandal, in which massive overpricing of seeds distributed to rural areas happened. The Deputy Minister of Agriculture was forced to resign.
Ministern fick avgå. Skyddades alltså inte av "klubben" då han givetvis hade fått fortsätta.
The Salween logging scandal, where up to 20,000 logs were felled illegally in the Salween forest in Mae Hong Son. Some of them turned up in the compound of the Democrat party’s office in Phichit province.
Ingen aning hur det gick här.
Sanan Kajornprasart, Interior Minister, as well as 8 other cabinet ministers were found to have understated their declared assets. Sanan was later barred by the Constitution Court from politics for 5 years.
Thaksin missade ju också att deklarera förmögenheter i miljardlklassen inför sitt tillträde, han skyllde på att han gjort ett "Honest mistake" och bannades inte från politiken i 5 år. Här stod tydligen "klubben" på Thaksins sida?
Chuan himself was found by the National Counter-Corruption Commission to have undeclared shareholdings in a rural cooperative.
Han hade inte deklarerat aktierna i en landsbygdskooperativ. Känns ju rent spontant som en guldgruva...men likförbannat så gjorde han fel men ingen påföljd verkar Chaun ah fått för det. Din "klubb" skyddade honom säkert...
Chuan stepped down as the head of the Democrat Party in 2003.
[edit] Criticisms
Chuan also got the nickname 'Chang Tha Si' (painter in Thai). When party members were accused of corruption, he was always known to protect them by telling the press they were clean although the court had not delivered its decision yet.
Senare regeringars taktik innebar att man stämde alla på miljonbelopp, alternativt hotade att dra in utgivningstillståndet, för alla som avslöjade eller ifrågasatte deras politikers vandel. Mycket effektivare än att vänta på ett domstolsutslag...
