Parliamentary Investigation into NACC Decision on Saksayam Chidchob Case Ongoing

On September 11, 2026, House Speaker Sophon Sarum provided an update regarding the parliamentary effort to petition the Supreme Court to establish an independent committee to investigate the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). This move follows the NACC’s decision to dismiss the case against former Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob, which involved allegations of hidden shareholdings.

According to Speaker Sophon, the parliamentary committee tasked with this matter is currently in the process of gathering information. Official requests have been sent to relevant agencies, including both the original complainants and the parties involved in the NACC case, to provide testimony and documentation. While the Speaker noted that the administrative process requires his office to issue formal correspondence, he emphasized that he is not directly involved in the committee's internal deliberations.

For residents and visitors, this development highlights ongoing scrutiny within Thailand’s political and legal institutions regarding anti-corruption oversight. While the process is active, it remains unclear when the committee will finalize its findings or when the formal request will be submitted to the Supreme Court. The public is currently awaiting further updates as the committee continues to collect evidence from the summoned agencies. No timeline for the conclusion of this inquiry has been established.
