Popular Post webfact Posted September 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2021 By Erich Parpart The Pheu Thai Party will ask the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to investigate the government’s purchase of Sinovac vaccines, a senior Pheu Thai MP told Thai Enquirer on Thursday. The party said this week during censure debates that the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO)’s explanations for alleged irregularities within the purchasing process for the Sinovac vaccines were insufficient. “The GPO answer was unclear because in a normal procurement process, there has to be a contract, a purchasing price, the amount of the product that is going to be purchase, the delivering date and there are accountability terms of fail or shortage in delivery,” Prasert Jantararuangtong, Pheu Thai’s secretary-general told Thai Enquirer.

The irregularity is that the government actually purchased Sinovac, and continue purchasing it despite their own acknowledgement that it has a low efficacy! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 no surprise really, everyone knows that there is always a big commision on anything the govt buys or contracts for/out, it used to be around 30% but wouldnt be surprised if it is now higher with this lot. Probably be a lot of cake boxes being distributed to the right people to ensure there is no graft found in any of the purchases made or fault with buying chinese vaccines 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently ( If the report is correct ) an Agent was used who was close to both the Chinese and Thai Governments for the procurement, and the difference in the costs was quoted as their " Expenses Etc " in brokering the deal.

thailand49 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) No contract? Here is why China is basically giving it away free so countries like Thailand can try it out on their people like test subjects but the government leaders are saying they purchased it get it where this is going?????

Damrongsak Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Dated but interesting article about the varying prices for Sinovac (CoronaVac), from $5. to $38. https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1384867/sinovac-jabs-varying-prices-raise-alarm Funny part: “The difference in prices of Sinovac vaccine at $5, $14 and $38 reminds me of an old story about how corruption is committed in three Southeast Asian countries—UNDER the table, ON the table, and INCLUDING the table,” he said in a post on Twitter.

Of course, but as usual, they have to make it seem as if something is going to be done about it. At least until enough time has passed for the subject to be long forgotten.
