The Assets Examination Committee (AEC) Thursday asked for donations from all Thai citizens to survive its financial crisis. It claims the government is not willing to grant it funds to continue its probes into cases against the former ministers under ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
Bangkokians are asked to donate Bt20 each while provincial residents Bt2.
Jaruvan Maintaka, AEC member and the Auditor General, said she did not expect the Cabinet would approve Bt16 million funds requested to be used to continue the corruption investigation.
She said it could be because several Cabinet members are facing graft probe by the AEC.
If the Cabinet did not approve the fund, Jaruwan said the AEC members would cut their own salaries as a short term solution.
"We want to ask the Thai people if they want us to continue working,'" she said.
BP: How much will they raise?
They can just all go home and tend to their children and grandchildren, I'm not going waste any stang to support their life styles anymore. Enough is enough.
What the hell did they do for a year and a half?
The coup makers said they had the evidence before the coup, right?
They have had plenty of time to gather evidence.
It is time to deliver.
