Bangkok: "Suchart" will visit Wat Phra Bat Nam Phu tomorrow to investigate donations and foundations. According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Suchart Tancharoen, Minister to the Prime Minister's Office, has announced his plans to personally inspect the situation at Wat Phra Bat Nam Phu. Despite the absence of reported irregularities from the National Office of Buddhism, Suchart expressed concern over the donations and the establishment of several foundations by the temple, notably the Jai Fah Foundation. This foundation is under scrutiny due to the involvement of Dr. Bee, a volunteer who allegedly opened a personal bank account to channel donations. Suchart emphasized the importance of this investigation, as it has significant implications for the Buddhist community and the public. He plans to scrutinize the foundations' activities and ensure that any discrepancies or dishonesty are addressed promptly. The Office of Buddhism is tasked with auditing temple accounts, yet no irregularities have been reported so fa r. Suchart highlighted the challenges in monitoring donations made to foundations rather than directly to temples, suggesting potential regulatory amendments to close any legal loopholes. The minister also addressed the ongoing discussions about Luang Por, indicating that the National Office of Buddhism has not found any irregularities in his operations. However, the concerns surrounding the substantial donations to the Jai Fah Foundation remain, and Suchart intends to investigate the legitimacy of their activities. He will also assess the other foundations involved with charitable causes like supporting AIDS patients and education. Suchart acknowledged the public's concerns about the administration of antiretroviral drugs, a matter under investigation since 2008. He clarified that this issue might fall under the Ministry of Public Health's jurisdiction rather than the National Office of Buddhism. He plans to gather more details during his visit and will consult with local health officials for additional in sights. Finally, Suchart stressed the need for transparency in the financial activities of both the temple and its associated foundations. He intends to verify the sources and uses of funds to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory standards. Should any irregularities be discovered, Suchart is prepared to report them to the appropriate authorities, including the police or the Ministry of Interior.
