Kan Jompalang Addresses Allegations Regarding Foundation Operations
Public figure Kan Jompalang has responded to scrutiny from lawyer Sitra Biabangkerd, asserting the transparency of his foundation's activities and financial records.
On September 5, 2026, Kan Jompalang (Kanthas Pongpaiboonvej) publicly addressed a series of allegations raised by lawyer Sitra Biabangkerd. The scrutiny involves several issues, including the operations of the Kan Jompalang Foundation, the procurement costs of body armor, and matters related to lottery quotas for the visually impaired.
In his statement reported by Khaosod Online, Kan Jompalang expressed confidence in the legitimacy of his work. He stated that he has previously cooperated with relevant authorities regarding the body armor procurement and maintains that the foundation’s activities are conducted correctly. Regarding financial transparency, he noted that the foundation has already submitted its financial reports to the district director, contradicting claims that such documentation was withheld.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this situation highlights an ongoing public dispute between two prominent figures known for social advocacy. While Kan Jompalang has invited authorities to review his records and expressed a willingness to provide further information if requested, the matter remains a subject of public debate. It is important to note that these are currently allegations and counter-statements; no official findings of wrongdoing have been announced by regulatory bodies. Observers should wait for formal investigations to conclude before drawing conclusions regarding the foundation's compliance or the validity of the claims made by either party.
