Big Joke leads petition to oust NACC over corruption claims

Thailand’s suspended Deputy National Police Chief, Police General Surachet Hakparn, known as Big Joke, initiated a campaign in Pattaya to gather signatures for the removal of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).

The event, held yesterday at the J A Plus Hotel, aimed to address accusations of corruption, unexplained wealth, and severe ethical breaches against the NACC.

Big Joke highlighted the historical significance of this petition, marking the first time in Thai history that such an action has been taken against an independent organisation under Article 236 of the Constitution. He announced plans to submit the petition to the House Speaker, who would then refer the case to the courts for the appointment of an independent committee to investigate the NACC.

By yesterday, Big Joke had already gathered over 13,000 signatures and expressed confidence that the petition would soon reach the required 20,000 signatures.
