The National Anti-Corruption Commission is ready to decide on Tuesday whether to indict 36 people including ministers of the Samak Sundaravej cabinet and state officials charged in connection with the cabinet approval on June 17 last year for Thailand to sign a joint communique with Cambodia without seeking advice from parliament, NACC member Somluck Jadkrabuanpol said on Monday.
The joint communique was to support Cambodia's application to list the Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site.
The NACC on Nov 13 last year decided to press charges against the Samak cabinet members, except four who were absent, for negligence of duty and violation of Article 190 of the constitution, and certain state officials for malfeasance.
Mrs Somluck said the anti-graft agency has thoroughly studied the investigation report on the case and would tomorrow decide whether to indict the 36 accused.
Of the 36, four are members of the current government. They are Deputy Prime Minister Sanan Kachornprasart, Deputy Finance Minister Pradit Pattaraprasit, Information and Communication Minister Ranongrak Suwanchawee, and Interior Minister Chavarat Charnvirakul.

The squatter of the Khmer kingdom is/was not given to any nationality. Cambodians still believe their kingdom is comprised of most of Southeast Asia including Siam(Thailand). Khmer Empire is not ambient of Preah Vihear,but made up of Thailand as well.
