The National Anti-Corruption Commission has postponed its ruling on the Preah Vihear joint communique case against the Samak Sundaravej administration. The deputy prime minister for national security sees no need for a Cabinet reshuffle if the panel delivers a guilty verdict despite the inclusion of four Cabinet members as defendants.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission, or NACC, has postponed its ruling on the Samak Sundaravej Cabinet's endorsement of the joint communique that supported Cambodia to list the ancient Preah Vihear Temple as its world heritage site to Septmber 29. The panel said its investigation report is still not completed.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban urged all sides not to try to predict the outcome of the case and said there is still no need to reshuffle the Cabinet or dissolve the House even though the NACC's ruling could have bearing on the status of four current ministers who were members of the Samak Cabinet.
