The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) will set up its own armed witness protection unit because it does not trust security personnel from other agencies.

The NACC currently uses officers from the Crime Suppression Division and local police to guard witnesses.

But some witnesses have been forced to hand-pick guards whom they know personally and can trust, NACC member Vicha Mahakhun said.

Maybe Chalerm should be in charge of this. He has a lot of personal experience with murder witnesses who change their mind later…

If no Thai police can be trusted they should hire foreign contractors. University students fresh from university with no police or military background is a very poor choice.

This should serve as a wake up call to the government and "the law enforcers".
