Activist Urges NACC to Appeal Niphon Bunyamanee Case
Activist Boonyanuch Saengsri has petitioned the National Anti-Corruption Commission to appeal a court ruling that acquitted former Songkhla official Niphon Bunyamanee of malfeasance charges.
On November 10, 2026, activist Boonyanuch Saengsri, known as 'Oysri', accompanied by her legal counsel, visited the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) headquarters in Nonthaburi. The group submitted a formal request urging the commission to file an appeal against a recent appellate court decision that acquitted Niphon Bunyamanee, the former President of the Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization.
The case centers on allegations of malfeasance under Section 157 of the Criminal Code, specifically regarding the approval of over 50 million baht for the maintenance of two multi-purpose road maintenance vehicles. While the appellate court previously dismissed the charges, the activist is pushing for the NACC to challenge this outcome before the deadline for filing a Supreme Court appeal, which is set for November 13, 2026.
For residents and observers, this development highlights ongoing efforts to ensure accountability in local government financial management. The case remains a matter of public interest as it involves significant public funds and the interpretation of administrative authority. It remains to be confirmed whether the NACC will proceed with the appeal before the upcoming deadline. As this is an ongoing legal matter, the final outcome of the case is yet to be determined by the judicial system.
