Mr. Sarin was accused of buying electrical appliances for an amount higher than the appliance’s market price. He was also accused of stealing state assets since 2000. Refrigerators and air-conditioners were among the items allegedly purchased.
“The electrical material he bought to decorate or repair the Senate office was a decent price in the market. It was not more expensive than the price in the market as mentioned in the accusations,” the ACU’s letter said about Mr. Sarin’s purchases.
It added that the accusation of stealing state material was not true.

Mr. Preah Khann was accused of using the national budget to purchase luxury cars for personal use, using state-owned vehicles for personal use, appointing six relatives, children, nephews or nieces to positions in the Senate, ordering offices under Senate control to pay him monthly fees and protecting the names of so-called ghost officials who routinely skipped work.

The ACU’s letter denied all the accusations.

“He did not have the right to take the national budget to buy a car for his own use, but he used his own money to buy his car. He has enough paperwork to prove that. And he did not use state vehicles at will either,” the letter said.

Mr. Preah Khann added that only his two daughters work in the Senate and were recruited as the result of an exam. Other officials with the same family name as his were not his children or relatives, he said. They just happened to have the same family name.

Mr. Sothkun and Mr. Vuthearith were accused of using state vehicles for personal use, oppressing officials under their command, nepotism, stealing state funds, protecting ghost officials, calling on officials in the Senate to work for their private interests, reportedly buying materials for higher prices than market value, forging budget proposals and allowing ghost officials to work outside the Senate.
