inquiry official The Anti-Corruption and Misconduct Division (NCCC), representatives from the Office of the Anti-Corruption Commission in the Public Sector (NCCC), the abbot and members of the Hiranyaram Temple committee. or Bang Khlan Temple, Pho Thale District, Phichit Province Participate in discussions to solve disputes that occur within the temple. Because there was a group of people who refused to allow the abbot and the new temple committee to perform duties in the temple.

Phrakru Phisutthiwarakorn The abbot of Wat Hiranyaram revealed that in the past he was unable to manage the temple. because there will be a group of people coming in to obstruct and throughout the past period There are government agencies in the area that come to help. Including a police officer at the level of Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police. was unable to assist in performing duties within the temple Therefore, he came to request that the ONCB come in and help solve this problem. At the same time, he also made a power of attorney letter to the ONCB commander and the government officials involved. Receive authority to manage the legal matters of the temple.

I believe that the police The ONCB will be able to seriously help solve all problems. In the past, power was given to "Senator Kittisak" but later found that he had not done anything serious, so he was removed, including Pol. Gen. Surachet Hakphan, Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police. Come in and help negotiate. But it still wasn't successful. Still unable to enter the temple and there is still violence. Therefore concerned about the safety of property in the temple. Because until now it is still not possible to inspect the damage inside the temple. Because there is a group of people who use their power to control the area of the temple. and there was an invasion of residence and occupation of the area within the temple. Since April 6th until the present As for the Phichit Provincial Abbot Events are questioned all the time. But the incident still escalated. Because the authority of the monks does not Therefore, the power of the law must be used.

Pol. Maj. Gen. Charoonkiat Pankaew, commander of the Prevention and Suppression of Corruption and Misconduct, revealed that today's joint meeting will initially be held. It was concluded that Abbot of Wat Hiranyaram or Bang Khlan Temple Make a letter of authority to yourself To enforce the law to return Bang Khlan Temple. Receiving authorization today will give the Narcotics Control Board the authority to inspect and return the premises to Ajarn Khao. New abbot It also helps to resolve conflicts between villagers and the new abbot.

This problem has been dragging on for more than 7-8 years and has not yet been completed. Today, there has been coordination for relevant agencies to come to a meeting with the abbot of the temple. With coordination from Mr. Atchariya Because it was seen that the PDRC police had a history of working in dealing with money corruption within Huai Duan Temple. In that operation, more than 70 million baht of money from the perpetrators was seized and returned to the temple. Today, the ONCB, by itself, is the authorized person to go in and enforce the law to return the temple area to the abbot. There are government agencies in the area such as the Pho Thale District Chief, the Pho Thale Police Station Superintendent, and the NACC also participating in this authorization.

For the operation from now on, it will be practiced from light to heavy. Start by focusing on finding a solution with the villagers, including "Senator Kittisak". If they can solve the problem and find a way out of negotiations, it will be a good thing. But if unable to proceed The PDRC will strictly enforce the law, such as deploying police to control crowds. Special Operations Police come to enforce the law in the area If anyone is found trespassing, they will be arrested and prosecuted immediately, including the senator. If found to be obstructing, legal action will be taken. The same is true for all citizens who are subject to the law. As for the privileges of being a senator, this can be done, but the PDRC confirms that Apply the law equally to everyone. Because initially I personally believe that That this problem is not over It shows the weakness of the civil servants who came to take action.

Pol. Lt. Col. Siriphong Sritula, director of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Division 2, Office of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission, NACC representative, stated that the NACC is ready. Cooperate with the Narcotics Control Police, focusing on support in all aspects. Because they believe that if law enforcement agencies are serious about offenders You will be able to clear these problems as well.

Mr. Atchariya stated that he had brought over 1,000 names of villagers in Phichit Province who supported the abbot to perform his duties. and talked with the abbot's lawyer In considering and checking that Government officials in the area had previously gone in to help request the return of the area. Is it considered a crime of neglecting to perform duties or not?
