Former commerce minister Kittiratt Na-Ranong is facing a graft probe following an accusation that he failed to act on an alleged irregularity in the selection of a local supplier for rice exported to Indonesia in 2011.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) on Tuesday announced it would form a sub-panel to look into the allegation against Mr Kittiratt who served as deputy prime minister and commerce minister under the Yingluck Shinawatra administration.
Mr Kittiratt is accused of malfeasance for his failure to order an investigation into the unlawful selection of Siam Indica Co by the Public Warehouse Organisation (PWO) to supply rice to Indonesia s food procurement agency Bulog.
