PHUKET: Officers from the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) inspected the wastewater-treatment plants at Surin Beach and Bang Tao yesterday (July 30) as they began their investigation into alleged corruption by MaAnn Samran, Chief of the Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor).

 

 

 

The twin systems together cost more than B355.52 million, but stand accused as gross failures in treating wastewater before it flows into Bang Tao Bay.

The DSI investigators yesterday were led by Pol Capt Prasit KhanSai, Chief of DSI Operations Center Region 8. Joining him were special investigators Supachai Khamkhum and Pantamit Chuibumroong.

Maybe MaAnn's tefl9n coating is wearing thin.

That probably depends on whether he has embezzled enough to pay them off.

Nice little earner for an honest looking Administrator. The budget was 355.52 million baht. The construction took five years, from 2012 to 2017 and ended up being a failure.

Whether he is found guilty depends on his political leanings. If he is a member of the Palang Parachat Party he is as safe as a church. His yearly membership fees and donations will just go up.

 

They could check most wastewater treatment systems around the island that would be like opening Pandora's box expect the shit to hit the fan

This is what's making Thailand a sh#t-hole....abject corruption within state projects....stealing taxpayers funds...and turning the country into a place of failed, 2nd class amenity.

There is no workable sewage system country wide...a basic service for health and hygiene......still they use dozens of septic tanks under high-rise apartment blocks!

Grubs in the government seem protected no matter how much goes missing.

This guys got more front than Gov house... must have some serious helpers to have stayed in his position.

They use a safety pin to do the probing here so he will be in the clear and owed money ????

????

Will the DSI keep an eye on the B3.5bn being proposed for the pipeline from Phang Nga from the beginning or do what they seem to enjoy doing,  "probing" after the event?

My bet is that we'll be reading a similar story in a few years time.
