Watchdog Thailand Foundation to Meet CIB Over Financial Investigation Concerns

Bangkok:The Watchdog Thailand Foundation (WDT) has announced plans to meet with the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) on November 11th to address concerns over its financial transactions. The meeting comes after allegations by Ta Narakorn Tiyanon, a well-known news anchor, who called for an investigation into the foundation's financial practices.

According to Thai News Agency, the foundation clarified that it had already submitted relevant information and evidence to the CIB on August 28, 2026, prior to the public allegations. The foundation emphasized its commitment to transparency, announcing a change in its management structure and appointing a new board of directors to enhance governance.

The WDT stated that the new board is responsible for improving transparency and accountability within its management and financial systems. The foundation aims to address any suspicions by collaborating with the authorities and providing all necessary documentation for the investigation.

The upcoming meeting with the CIB will take place at the Crime Suppression Division, Sub-Division 2, where WDT will provide additional information as needed. The foundation stressed its position that public trust should be built on verifiable facts and documented financial transactions, rather than its own declarations of transparency. WDT plans to update the public and media after the meeting, sharing only information that does not compromise the ongoing investigation.
