Police, ‘Big Tai’ is not worried about the issue of signing an order for ‘Big Joke’ to leave the civil service first, insisting that he did it with honesty, without bias, and without seeking personal benefits. He believes that ‘Big Joke’ will not be angry.
Pol. Gen. Kittirat Panphet, deputy national police chief, disclosed the case of yesterday’s verbal explanation to the Police Ethics Protection Committee (P.E.P.C.C.) regarding the signing of an order for Pol. Gen. Surachet Hakpal, deputy national police chief, to temporarily resign from the civil service. Yesterday, Pol. Gen. Torsak Sukwimol, national police chief, assigned him to provide an explanation to the committee instead. He submitted a letter requesting an oral explanation according to procedure, which the committee listened to and accepted the information for consideration. From now on, the committee will consider and make a decision, but it is not known when or what the results will be.
As for the testimony given yesterday, I confirmed that the
order to appoint a serious disciplinary committee and the order to dismiss him early from government service were done honestly, without bias and without seeking personal gain, but to protect the organization’s benefits and justice, adhering to the principles of law and the rule of law in the consideration, taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case together with the legal and disciplinary departments who have submitted their opinions, which were previously submitted documents. I confirmed according to the documents that the Royal Thai Police had confirmed in the documents regarding the appeal and confirmed in the statement sent earlier, which I had stated only this much.
The reporter asked if he had the opportunity to meet with Pol. Gen. Surachet yesterday. Pol. Gen. Kittirat replied that he did, but there was nothing. The committee had arranged seats for each side. There were no issues. Pol. Gen. Surachet had prepared documents to make a statement. He confirmed that he was not worried. He
had already made a statement and submitted documents, so it was considered that he had completed the process. After this, he would enter the process of the committee’s meeting to consider the decision. As for the rumor that the decision had been made, it was just a rumor. The committee was still considering the decision. He did not know anything yet. His duty was to make a statement according to the rules of the National Police Commission, so he went and did it. There was nothing exciting. He also believed that Pol. Gen. Surachet would not be angry with him. Yesterday, he did not have any bad reactions. Both parties did their duty in what happened.
