NACC members held a meeting to deliberate and decide whether MCOT employees had helped Raisom Co to air more commercials than stipulated in its contract with the broadcaster and failed to collect the additional ad revenues, resulting in lower payments than required to MCOT, said agency member Klanarong Chanthik.

I don't understand how the NACC can come up with a "guilty verdict" ?

Isn't that up to the courts?

NACC also found Sutthep guilty, but that was rejected in Senate by the establishment who did not respect the finding of the NACC, here NACC find they have evidence again, and this time it is not the Senate but the Attorney general and the Court that will decide whether they are guilty or not, maybe the chances to get a verdict are higher. Anyway regardless of the result then it is nice to see both the NACC and PACC doing a good job here during the last year or so, hopefully all the people that claim to know of fraud and corruption will name the culprits and forward them for the agencies so the cases can be investigated.

This is not a murder case and I cannot understand why it took them so long? Justice delayed is justice denied.

When are they going after those who caused this case to be what seems "on hold" (in a drawer) for almost 5 years?
