Senate approves 2 NACC commissionersListen to this articleThe Senate has approved two nominees, namely Suchart Suntreekasem and Manuphan Yotthasaen, to serve as commissioners of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). Mr Suchart, a former Criminal Court judge, was nominated to replace NACC chairman Watcharapol Prasarnrajkit, while Mr Manuphan, a former presiding judge of the Supreme Court, was nominated to succeed NACC committee member Suwanna Suwanjuta. Both nominations were approved during Wednesday's Senate meeting, chaired by Speaker Mongkol Surasajja, after having previously been vetted by a Senate screening committee chaired by Sen Gen Sawat Tassana. Mr Suchart and Mr Manuphan both surpassed the approval threshold of at least half of all senators' votes, receiving 150 and 162 votes in favour, respectively. As a result, both candidates were formally endorsed as NACC commissioners.
