Secretary of PACC Ready to Strictly Investigate Government Officials Involved in Foundation Corruption

Bhumvisan revealed that Minister Pradorn has ordered strict and decisive action if any government officials are found involved in foundation corruption, stressing the need for transparency. He affirmed that the PACC is ready to investigate immediately if any involvement or neglect of duty is identified.


At 08:50 on 10 Nov 2026 at the Government House, Bhumvisan Kasemsuk, Secretary-General of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), spoke about findings of foundation funds being misused. He said most foundation matters concern private entities and are dealt with under the law if offenses are found. However, if any government officials are involved in the operations, it is the PACC's duty to investigate.


Later, at 09:40, Bhumvisan gave another statement after meeting Minister Pradorn Prissanantakul, Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office. He said he came to receive policy directives regarding foundations currently under scrutiny. If any foundation is found to involve government officials, decisive action must be taken. He emphasized that work must be conducted swiftly and transparently, noting that foundation establishment involves approval processes followed by various steps that require examination.


When asked how the PACC would collaborate with the Ministry of Interior in inspections, Bhumvisan said the Ministry of Interior must first act as the agency responsible for oversight and law enforcement. Meanwhile, PACC will review whether there has been any neglect of duty or failure to comply with regulations by government officials during foundation operations. PACC will then proceed with investigations accordingly.
