Chanchao Chaiyanukit: on Tuesday, permanent secretary, then transferred to a new, undefined post in the PM's offices of inactive bureaucrats who angered men at the top. Wisit Wisitsora-at, director-general of the Department of Juvenile Observation and Protection (DJOP), has been made the new permanent secretary, Mr Suwaphan said. According to a ministry source, Mr Chanchao was on a work trip in Austria and was due to fly back on Sunday. He accused Mr Tarit and Mr Chanchao of malfeasance in unfairly transferring him to a special post, a lower position, under Section 157 of the Criminal Code. On Aug 11, 2015, the Criminal Court handed down a two-year jail term to Mr Tarit, without suspension, and acquitted Mr Chanchao.
