“ Section⁠7.⁠The stipulations of section 151 of the Penal Code shall be repealed and replaced by the following stipulations:
"Section⁠151.⁠Whoever, being an officer having the duty to buy, create, manage, or preserve any thing, exercises a power in office dishonestly, thereby causing injury to the State, a municipality, a sanitary administration, or the owner of such thing, shall be punished with imprisonment from five years to twenty years, or imprisonment for life, and a fine from two thousand baht to forty thousand baht." ”

“ Whereas the commission of the offences against public offices and offences against judicial offices brings severe injury to the State and the public but the rates of the punishment for these offences as prescribed in the law at present are immoderately low, it is appropriate to amend them to make them higher, and it is also [appropriate] to designate the minimum rates of punishment for [these offences] in order that the prevention and suppression of the said offences would further yield better results. ”
