TheNational Peace Keeping Council (NPKC) (Thai:คณะรักษาความสงบเรียบร้อยแห่งชาติ) was the name assumed by aThai militaryjunta thatoverthrew the elected civilian government ofChatichai Choonhavan in 1991. It was led by Army CommanderSuchinda Kraprayoon, Supreme CommanderSunthorn Kongsompong, Air Force CommanderKaset Rojananil, and members of the fifth class ofChulachomklao Royal Military Academy. After theMarch 1992 general election, General Suchinda was appointed prime minister. He resigned following apublic uprising and pressure from KingBhumibol Adulyadej.
After seizing power from the Chatichai government, the junta seized the assets of Chatichai and nine members of his cabinet, including:
The junta set up a committee to investigate the cabinet for allegedly being "unusually rich". The supreme court later ruled on the cases and called for the return of the assets, because the politicians' wealth had been unlawfully seized by the military junta and the investigative committee had worked without the oversight of a judicial entity.[1]
