NACC timing questioned
Bangkok Post
|February 11, 2026
As winning political parties begin forming alliances and the public waits for a new government to address bread-and-butter issues, the National Anti-Corruption Commission's (NACC) decision to move against former MPs from the People's Party is, to say the least, poorly timed.
-
On Monday, the NACC issued a statement announcing its unanimous decision to refer former Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat and 43 other former lawmakers to the Supreme Court for alleged serious ethical violations. The case stems from their submission of a bill to amend the Criminal Code's lese majeste provisions several years ago.
The case itself is not new. The probe was launched in August 2024 after lawyer Theerayut Suwankesorn petitioned the Constitutional Court to dissolve the Move Forward Party over its efforts to amend the law in 2023.
That petition was based on a Jan 31, 2024, ruling by the court that found the party's push to amend the law constituted an attempt to undermine the constitutional monarchy.
