BWG Requests Parliamentary Ethics Probe into MP Poonsak Janjampi
Better World Green (BWG) has petitioned the Parliament President to investigate People's Party MP Poonsak Janjampi over alleged conflicts of interest involving his wife's business.
On August 24, 2026, the waste management company Better World Green (BWG) formally submitted a request to the President of the Thai Parliament, seeking an investigation into the ethics and governance of People's Party Member of Parliament (MP) Poonsak Janjampi.
According to Thai Post, the petition centers on allegations of a potential conflict of interest. BWG claims that MP Poonsak has utilized his parliamentary role to scrutinize companies that are direct business competitors to his wife’s firm. The company is calling for a formal review to determine if these actions violate parliamentary standards of conduct and ethical governance.
For residents and expatriates, this development highlights ongoing scrutiny regarding the intersection of political oversight and private business interests in Thailand. While the petition has been filed, the parliamentary process for reviewing such ethics complaints is lengthy. It remains to be confirmed whether the Parliament President will accept the petition for a formal inquiry or if the MP will provide a public rebuttal to these allegations. As of now, these are unproven claims brought forward by a private entity, and no official parliamentary ruling or disciplinary action has been initiated against the MP. Observers are waiting to see how the People's Party responds to these accusations of professional misconduct.
