Mr Chuvit accused Chaiwat Krairiksh, a Rak Thailand list MP, of using his political poskition to divert funds of the Rural Roads Department for building a road passing in front of his house in Pak Phanang district of Nakhon Si Thammarat province.
He said Mr Chaiwat might have made personal gains from the budget.
Along with the request, Mr Chuvit submitted to the NACC a video clip which he said was evidence against Mr Chaiwat.
Mr Chuvit had earlier claimed that Mr Chaiwat had signed a letter of resignation from membership of the Rak Thailand Party. If his claim was proved true, Mr Chaiwat would lose his House membership.
Mr Chaiwat had denied he had resigned from Rak Thailand, saying that his signature had been forged. The matter was being investigated by the Election Commission.
