Ex-Bangkok governor found at fault for contracting BTSC to operate Green line extensions

[webfact]

 

A National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) investigative panel has voted 3:3 in finding 13 individuals and legal entities, among them former Bangkok Governor M.R. Sukhumbhand Paribatra and BTS Group Holding chairman Keeree Kanjanapas, guilty of violating the Public-Private Partnership Act (PPP Act) and the Act on Offences Relating to Government Bidding and malfeasance in office regarding the three extensions of the Green Line train or BTS system.

 

An informed source close to the investigative panel said the finding is in line with Section 23 of the Anti-Corruption Act, which specifies that at least half of the votes of the panel are required to find a suspect guilty.

 

The panel ruling, which was adopted yesterday (Monday), will be forwarded to the NACC, which will have the final say on the case.

There's another Air con, a fridge and sofa suite available in the prison's ‘VVIP’ section next to Thaksin i believe.

Wouldn't that be final say for referring the case for prosecution in court?

Strange how this is never spotted at the time?

That doesn't surprise me at all. Corruption is probably the main reason why BTS fares are insanely high (for a regular commuter in Bangkok who has a normal job).
