AEC President says he is concerned over new PM  
 
President of the Assets Examination Committee (AEC) Nam Yimyaem (¹ÒÁ ÂÔéÁáÂéÁ) assured that People Power Party leader Samak Sundaravej’s instating as Prime Minister will not affect his committee’s work. He especially referred to an ongoing case against Mr. Samak by the AEC.

Mr. Nam declared that as the matter is being processed by the AEC and the Court it will not be affected by Mr. Samak’s position as the administrative branch of government and the judicial are independent of one another. He also affirmed that Mr. Samak’s case, which involves irregularities in the purchase of Bangkok fire trucks, will be resolved before the AEC finishes its term.

The AEC President admitted there may be conflicts when having to work against the administrative branch but he believed that as the government is a democrat body it will work justly and inline with ethical conduct.
