Emphasizing that the case is straightforward, the wrong person must be arrested, but do not neglect or act illegally, which is in violation of Section 157 in the case of "Hia Kao" for whom an arrest warrant was issued. Accepted as a distant relative But they're not the same father. Mr. Chalermchai Sri-on, leader of the Democrat Party, said There is a movement to destroy political reputations. by linking himself, who was formerly the Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, to the case of illegal pork and chicken feet. While being Minister, he assigned Mr. Praphat Photsuthon, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, to supervise the Department of Livestock Development. By delegating power But he came to take care of the pigs when there was an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF), which caused the outbreak to cause illegal pork to be smuggled in later. Therefore ordered the Department of Livestock Development to strictly control animal quarantine points along the border. Including checking various cold rooms To prevent and suppress But the point that the agencies of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives do not have the authority to investigate is at the port which is overseen by the Customs Department Mr. Chalermchai mentioned that investigators from the Department of Special Investigation issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Li. Sheng Jiao or "Hia Kao" is a distant relative. and Mr. Somkiat Kopaisarn, former private secretary and former chairman of the working group of the Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives in a case related to illegally importing chicken feet and claiming export rights, said The accused has the right to defend himself according to law. But it's like Captain Thammanat Prompao, Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, who came out and stated that Investigators diverted the case from "wild pigs" to "chicken feet" causing no progress in the "wild pig" case. along with emphasizing that he asks the investigating officers to do their work honestly. Anyone who is truly guilty must be arrested, but at this time it is seen that Efforts are being made to convince perpetrators to testify in order to arrest others. Therefore, do not neglect or perform your duty incorrectly, which is an offense according to Section 157. Mr. Chalermchai added that "Hia Kao" is a distant relative. In China, people in the same village are considered relatives. But they are not siblings of the same father as some have claimed because their father has been in Thailand for more than 80 years. After coming to live in Thailand Never returned to China again. As for the group picture showing himself and Hia Kao in the same picture, He was invited by a Chinese business association. "Hia Kao" who is the president of th e Thai-Asia Economic Exchange Trade Association was also invited by the Chinese side, but confirmed that he was not involved in any wrongdoing. Whoever is in the wrong, arrest them, don't take them, but if they cause damage, they will definitely sue. Source: Thai News Agency
