Lungstib Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Sounds like normal behaviour for those PAO and TAO officials. At least he didn't murder the competition, well, not that we know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrunchWrapSupreme Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 How long ago was he removed from his post? My friend in Ubon mentioned that within the past few months, there's suddenly been a rash of road projects messing up traffic, around the Rajabhat uni, and the bridge leading out to the Central mall. He said it didn't make any sense as these weren't affected by the massive flooding they had after the rainy season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy 4680 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 All sounds a bit fishy to me, compared to other sentences for other crimes, 20 years sounds a bit excessive. No real details of his procurement details, or personal gains from such dealings given, Have the Anti Graft Commission found a scapegoat to suggest they are still working on the problem ?????????? To be fair, the media jury has not been given any evidence of any wrong doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hare Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I live in Ubon Ratchathani and I have always liked Pornchai. Very pleasant chap. I think he is being used as a scapegoat. Years ago he had the local branch of TNT and I shipped my seed through him. He had contacts everywhere. When he was PAO chief he helped us with village agriculture projects. I think he also developed the big Sports stadium complex on the northern outshirts of Ubon city. I drive pass his former house estate quite often and it is now in a state of disrepair. I hear that there are other well-known Ubon names also under investigation. I wonder if they will get 20 years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
