snoop1130 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Graft agency finds 52 cases of corruption in purchase of protective equipment By THE NATION The Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) has uncovered 52 cases of corruption in the procurement of protective equipment by local administration organisations in 30 provinces. “The commission has been monitoring the procurement of Covid-19 related equipment since the early stage of the outbreak based on data submitted by the media and the general public,” Pol Lt-Colonel Wannop Somjintanakul, PACC secretary-general, said on Friday (May 29). “We have appointed 15 task forces to investigate the cases at community level and are cooperating with the Internal Security Operations Command and related local agencies in discovering the truth.” Of the 52 cases, PACC has already forwarded three cases to the National Anti-Corruption Commission to take legal action, ordered the cancellation of procurement in five cases, and is in the process of gathering evidence for the remainder. PACC also reported that corruption in procurement of Covid-19 protection equipment often follows one or more of the following patterns: 1. The proposed price is higher than market price of the product at the time of purchase; 2. There is no evidence of price inspection process; 3. Bidders refuse to have the proposed price displayed in the procurement contract; 4. The initial contract is cancelled and then redrawn at a higher than previously agreed upon price; 5. Procurers are not direct sellers or manufacturers of the product; 6. A contract is awarded to procurers in other provinces even though local procurers offer better prices; 7. The contract winner is related to someone influential; 8. Products are procured at a higher than necessary volume, or at a price exceeding the budget; 9. Products are procured by state officials who have paid business operators to put their name in the contract as a procurer.

Popular Post colinneil Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 So they found corruption...Shock horror, what did they expect? Everything to be above board. So what is going to be done about it? Probably the same as every other time corruption has been found.... Absolutely nothing. 17 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post darksidedog Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 I suggest if they have only found 52 cases in 30 provinces, they haven't been looking hard enough. You can pretty much guarantee that is has been rampant nationwide. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grafted monies will be confiscated and passed on higher up the ladder most likely. Some low level peasants will suffer the scapegoat consequences, hands will be rubbed together in glee and the taxpayer has been robbed. Again! Until next time when it will repeat itself. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy John Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Some of you need to lift your game when referring to or talking to your wives. Some have Forgotten how skilled with a filleting knife a Thai girl can be. Woe is he who slights his beloved only to find in the middle of the night his cock is in the hand of she on the other side of the bedroom with a sharp knife dripping with blood in the other hand and a evil grin on her face. And I am not talking about poultry! ???? Edited May 30, 2020 by Grumpy John Smelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct.... the higher up the tree you go the more corruption and value of it rises. Graft, kick-backs, bribes, whatever you want to call it, it's on any contract that has the ability to purchase anything. And on the big contracts that can add up to millions for the chosen few.

holy cow cm Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 This graft corruption BS is just that. BS. No one is making them or anyone buy them. And as far as the government goes, look at what they have done. They are by far the least white colored snow on the hill. But untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
