Thailand’s NACC urged to probe 14 projects endorsed by former navy chief

 

 

Political activist Srisuwan Janya has demanded that Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) investigate suspected corruption in 14 projects, implemented during the tenure of the former Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Navy, Admiral Luechai Ruddit.

 

The Secretary-General of the Thai Constitution Protection Association submitted the petition and related evidence to the NACC on Friday morning.

 

Some of the projects listed by Srisuwan include:

 

14 billion baht to procure a fleet of marine patrol aircraft

 

150 million baht to procure a mine clearing device

 

5 billion baht for the procurement of a troop landing ship

 

456 million baht for the procurement of dual-system firing control equipment

 

112 million baht for the construction of the RTN Commander-in-Chief’s riverside guesthouse in Bangkok

 

405 million baht for the procurement of Chinese-made armored cars

 

35 million baht for the construction of an entry arch at Sattahip Naval Base

 

Srisuwan alleges that the planning and implementation processes of the projects were ambiguous and did not fit with the present circumstances, when the country is struggling through its worst economic crisis, and that some of the projects are not necessary at all.

Before retiring it's good to get in as many projects as possible so that you can leave a legacy. And bonuses always help the retirement account.

Please excuse my military ignorance, but since when have armored CARS become routine naval vessels??? Maybe they mean one of these:-

I'm sure it was all completely transparent, honest, and not one baht is missing~all records will be provided and accounted for, unless the dog ate them, or they got lost or burned...which happens all the time I guess?

Shocked i am, shocked, that anyone could even think that there was the remotest possibility that an up standing navy commander would ever stoop so low as to be involved with corruption.????????????????

 

Ooops silly me, forgot my meds today.????

Nothing happens here without additional 'payments'.
