"Two days ago, I met Ms. Ratchanok at the NACC office, saw her carrying stacks of documents and talking about various corruption issues, so I wondered whether Ms. Ratchanok had checked her own transparency regarding the 200,000 baht donation previously complained about before sweeping others' houses, as she has not been able to clarify where the 200,000 baht donation to the People's Party came from."

เมื่อสองวันก่อนผมได้ไปเจอ น.ส.รักชนก ที่สำนักงาน ป.ป.ช. เห็นหิ้วแฟ้มเอกสารเป็นปึกแล้วพูดถึงเรื่องการทุจริตต่าง ๆ จึงเกิดความสงสัยว่า กรณีเงินบริจาคจำนวน 200,000 บาท ที่เคยมีการร้องเรียนไปคราวก่อนนั้น ทาง น.ส.รักชนก ได้ตรวจสอบความโปร่งใสของตนเองก่อนหรือไม่ ก่อนที่จะไปกวาดบ้านคนอื่น เนื่องจากเจ้าตัวยังไม่สามารถชี้แจงได้ชัดเจนว่าเงินบริจาค 200,000 บาท ที่เข้าพรรคประชาชนนั้นมีที่มาจากไหน
