Authorities kick off legal proceedings over controversial rubber gloves deal

By The Nation

 

 

Former acting director of the Public Warehouse Organisation Pol Colonel Roongroj Phuthiyawat faces legal proceedings for the controversial Bt112.5-billion purchase of 500 million boxes of gloves from Guardian Gloves Co last year.

 

Roongroj allegedly paid Bt2 billion in advance to the manufacturer, which the National Anti-Corruption Commission later froze.

 

Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said on Thursday he has accepted the investigation report and has instructed incumbent PWO director Kriangsak Prateepvisut to decide what action will be taken against 10 people accused in the case. Five of the suspects are PWO employees.

 

The Discipline Examination Board, which was appointed last week, has started the disciplinary examination of Roongroj and two PWO level eight executives, who have confessed to having a hand in the controversial deal.

 

All three face severe disciplinary offences and may be suspended until their criminal trial is complete.

112 Billion Baht is a staggering amount of money for rubber gloves. This is the sort of thing that goes on to affect Thailand's standing in the corruption league table. If this stuff is allowed to continue, others will want a part of the action making things even worse.

How dose a Pol-Col get his hands on a 12.5 billion deal unless he is in a cunning disguise ????

No. they stopped laughing at the audacity a while beck.

 

They've now moved into the 'Pretending to be doing domething about it' mode.

 

Were you expecting something bona fide? Not the Thai way.
