Phuket ISOC official asks House committee to investigate alleged solar project corruption
A Phuket Internal Security Operations Command civil servant has asked a House committee to review an alleged energy-conservation project irregularity and what she described as an unfair investigation.
A civil servant with Thailand’s Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) has asked a House committee to investigate alleged irregularities in an energy-conservation project in Phuket and review what she described as an unfair disciplinary investigation.
Natsiphat Chaiwimonsit submitted two petitions to Rangsiman Rome, a list-MP from the People’s Party and chairman of the House Committee on Legal Affairs, Justice and Human Rights, at Parliament on 13 August 2026.
The first petition sought fairness over the alleged misuse of official authority and an unfair investigation. The second called for a review of ISOC’s energy-conservation project carried out between 2014 and 2016.
Natsiphat said she had faced an investigation since 2021 after reporting alleged corruption in an ISOC project in Phuket. She said the investigation remained unfinished and that she had been treated as the only person in the organisation responsible, while senior supervisors had not been affected.
She also denied an allegation in the complaint that she had an interest worth B1 billion in the Yanui beach issue. Natsiphat said she had never visited the site or known anyone involved, and maintained that she had followed regulations and used the project budget efficiently.
Natsiphat further alleged that the energy-conservation project installed solar panels but used vehicle batteries that could not store solar energy.
Rangsiman said the committee would gather information and review all evidence submitted by Natsiphat concerning the allegations.
