[webfact]

 

The Kla Party will ask the Office of the Auditor-General to investigate the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) over the diversion of about 10 million baht, originally allocated for drainage and sewerage projects in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district, to the funding of outdoor seminars.

 

The party’s secretary-general, Atavit Suwannapakdee, said yesterday (Sunday) that, since Chatuchak district has 11 areas which are vulnerable to flooding, he found the diversion of the money to fund outdoor seminars suspicious.

 

The BMA’s budget for the 2023 fiscal year is estimated at 79.7 billion baht and it will come into effect on October 1st.

Snouts in the trough all day every day, they should make them hold the next outdoor seminar on a raft in the middle of a river.

Why would they not make Chatuchak park an emergency run-off location?  The same thing for Lumpini and all the major parks in the area yes, they are nice, but I would rather redo a park than redo a bunch of businesses

This should be investigated. It sounds like yet another highly suspicious re-allocation of funds.
