BWG Files Ethics Complaint Against People's Party MP

On August 24, 2026, representatives from Better World Green (BWG) submitted a formal complaint to Parliament President Sophon Sarum, requesting an ethics investigation into Poonsak Janjampee, a party-list MP from the People's Party.

According to the petition reported by Khaosod Online, BWG alleges that Poonsak, in his capacity as Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Land, Natural Resources, and Environment, improperly intervened in the work of another committee. The company claims that Poonsak attempted to influence investigations into industrial waste management in Saraburi province to target BWG, which is a direct competitor to a firm where his wife serves as a senior executive and where he previously held a directorship. BWG argues that these actions lack evidentiary weight and suggest a conflict of interest, calling for a review of governance standards regarding how MPs oversee private sector environmental compliance.

For residents and those interested in Thai political affairs, this case highlights ongoing debates regarding the boundaries of parliamentary oversight and the potential for conflicts of interest in environmental regulation. As of now, the allegations remain claims made by the company in their petition. It remains to be confirmed how the Parliament President will proceed with the request and whether an official ethics inquiry will be launched into the MP’s conduct.
