Anutin", Minister of Interior, announced punishment and cut of pension for "Tha Uthen District Chief" who fled the Tak Bai case. After the statute of limitations expired, he returned to work. We have to look at the regulations. He revealed that he reported for vacation and was absent from work for 6 days, but he still cannot be fired. He admitted that it had an impact on growth. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul talked about the case of the district chief of Tha Uthen, Nakhon Phanom Province, who was one of the suspects with an arrest warrant in the Tak Bai case, who returned to work after the statute of limitations expired. He ordered the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Interior to set up a fact-finding committee. From what he knew, he had submitted a leave request, but after finding out that he was wanted, the request was canceled and he was ordered to report himself. However, he did not show up. From what he knew, he should have been absent for 6 days, but according to the regulations, he must be absent for 15 days before being dismissed from government service. An investigation committee must be set up to ensure fairness in determining why he did not report himself. He must listen to the explanation because at the time of the request, there was no arrest warrant. He admitted that this matter is related to civil servant ethics. As he has said before, this group of people cannot be comfortable. They must face enormous pressure. When they hear their name, they will immediately say, 'Huh?', which is considered a social apology. However, other punishments must be in accordance with the regulations. He believes that this will affect their career growth. At some point, he insists on fairness. We do not bully anyone. When asked if he would order a transfer to work in Tak Bai District, Narathiwat Province, Mr. Anutin laughed before answering that if he ordered it, he would be wrong because it would be interfering with permanent civil servants. This matter is with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior. If there is a transfer of a Level 9 civil servant, there is no need to consult the minister. Mr. Anutin said that the leave letter stated 'vacation leave' and there was a letter from the District Chief of Tha Uthen explaining to the Governor of Nakhon Phanom on which day it was approved. When he learned that there was an arrest warrant, he ordered it to be cancelled and called to report himself, which was the reason for the inquiry, along with setting up an investigation committee. As for the proposal to cut pensions, Mr. Anutin said that everything must be done according to the regulations. Whoever is going to be punished must have regulations to support them. Otherwise, those who are going to be punished will be sued. -317.-Thai News Agency Source: Thai News Agency
