BANGKOK, THAILAND – Around 20 district directors of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration
(BMA) are preparing legal action against a politician accused of corruption in trading positions and making degrading, sexist remarks. The group intends to file a complaint at the Samran Rat Police Station, while simultaneously defending the transparency under Governor Chadchart Sittipunt.
Bezirksdirektoren wollen vor die Polizei
According to administration sources, approximately 20 district directors from the BMA met on June 4th to discuss potential legal steps. The group announced their intention to approach the Samran Rat Police Station to protect the dignity of permanent officials.
Vorwurf: Handel mit Posten
Reports indicate that the directors accuse a politician of engaging in the buying and selling of positions within the authority. However, the directors refuted these allegations, emphasizing that no signs of such position trading were evident during Governor Chadchart’s tenure.
Weibliche Direktorinnen reichen Verleumdungsanzeige vor
Several female district directors are also preparing to file a slander complaint, feeling their honor has been violated by the remarks. They consider the statements degrading and an attack on the integrity of women in public service.
Politiker soll sexistische Vorwürfe gemacht haben
According to reports, the accused politician allegedly claimed that female directors used personal relationships to achieve promotions. An original statement reportedly included the phrase “ใช้เต้าไต่,” which is understood as an insinuation that women could advance through sexual favors.

The group plans to file their complaint at the Samran Rat Police Station, though it was not confirmed if this has already occurred. The name of the accused politician was not disclosed in the report.
