April 2006 election

Election commission

Nam was nominated as a candidate for Election Commissioner after a court jailed the previous set of Commissioners. As part of the scrutiny process, Nam declared that he and his spouse had 66 million Baht in net assets.^[1] The Senate ultimately did not choose him.

Post-2006 coup asset examination committee

Nam was appointed by the military junta that overthrew the government of Thaksin Shinawatra to chair a committee to investigate the former government. Nam will replace Sawat Chotepanich, who resigned after an original committee was dissolved after disagreements about scope. The revised scope of the committee was broad, and included tax evasion, and could focus not only on members of the Thaksin government but also on civil servants. Members of the committee included Jaruvan Maintaka, Kaewsan Atibhoti, and Sak Korsaengruang.^[2]
