Parliament, “Jirat” confirms “Benja” did not harass “Wuttiphong” in the case of sexual harassment. Until being expelled from Kaoklai, it was revealed that he was preparing to investigate the matter of an assistant MP accepting a bribe on garbage land land.
Mr. Jirat Thongsuwan, Chachoengsao MP, Progressive Party, made a statement after the meeting of the Industrial Commission. House of Representatives: In the case of an assistant of Ms. Benja Saengchan, a list MP for the Kao Klai Party, demanding a bribe to sell land to a waste disposal factory in Prachinburi Province.
Mr. Jirat said that the committee has called Mr. Chaithawat Tulathon, leader of the Progressive Party, and Ms. Benja Saengchan to explain. The committee has questions from the Progressive Party regarding the case of sexual harassment of Mr. Wutthipong Thong. Is Hone related to the garbage dump bribe issue? which the Progressive Party views as a different matter Must be decided by different committee members. and is considering investigating As for the assistant Is the MP actually demanding to receive the benefits? It must be noted that we are currently investigating. Not yet concluded And still can’t tell what the facts are.
Mr. Jirat said that as for the doubts about Mr. Wutthipong The landfill matter was filed before the sexual harassment matter was raised. It’s like there’s bullying. Until having to be expelled from that party This story is not true. As for which matter comes first? The party will send this matter to you. The committee will be informed further.
“I want to give Mr. Wutthiphong confidence. That we definitely didn’t have any bullying like that. Because it is impossible for the party to protect the assistant MP by expelling the MP from the party. Another thing is If Miss Benja will harass Mr. Wutthipong about sexual harassment In order to cover up the garbage dump It means that Miss Benja must have known about sexual harassment before. Which I certainly didn’t know before. I want you to feel comfortable that this is impossible,” Mr. Jirat said.
Mr. Jirat further said that the committee is investigating the matter of law with the relevant government agencies. And I am happy to cooperate and would like to leave a message to the committee that I will continue to pursue this matter to the end. Because the people are in trouble and will use this space to listen to information that the agency has come to explain And the party’s examination committee will also ask to hear their opinions.
As for the progress of the investigation of the party’s assistant MP, Mr. Jirath stated that a committee has now been set up to examine 3 people: himself, Pol. Maj. Gen. Supisan Phakdinarunat, and Police Lieutenant Colonel Suphat. Thammatharak came to investigate this matter, and the assistant MP has now asked to resign from party membership. and resigned from being an assistant MP to undergo an investigation And this matter is an internal investigation. Which from the information cannot be taken legally. Because the excuse was that the MP’s assistant demanded a higher value for the land than was normally appraised. It is a normal land transaction. It’s not illegal. If it is wrong, then it is unethical. and the party’s stated ideology which has not yet found any cause As for environmental impacts Let the relevant agencies investigate further.
Mr. Jirat further said that initially the accused denied the allegations. It was stated only that it was a normal land transaction. Do not use your position in the wrong way.
