Legal action demanded over former police chief’s alleged 200 million baht bid-rigging scandal

[webfact]

 

The president of the Crime Victims Assistance Club, Atchariya Ruangrattanapong, demanded legal action against a former national police chief for alleged bid-rigging in the construction of ammunition factories. The former police chief is accused of transferring over 200 million baht intended for the purchase of stun guns.

 

Atchariya lodged a complaint with the Anti-Corruption and Misconduct Commission today, alleging that the former police chief violated various “Acts,” including the Act on Offenses Relating to Bidding to Government Agencies, the Act on the Procurement and Management of State Supplies, the Act on Registration of Machinery, and the Dangerous Substances Act.

 

Atchariya presented documents relating to the construction contracts of the ammunition factories, which were not tendered but selected, a method that he claims is illegal as it allows for bid-rigging. He noted that the cost of these factories varied between 9 million baht and 15 million baht, despite the buildings being of the same design and structure, reported Sanook.

It will end as a misunderstanding. Nothing will happen, he is a police chief. We saw earlier that senators will help their friends too and so is the police

I Agree.If I were Mr Acha I wouldn't be attending any dinner parties an any Kamans villa and I'd have a quick look at the brake lines on my auto.

BUT he may be having siucidal thoughts. Maybe his wife will hide his gun.

Corruption is above the law for some. This will be just another example.

You don't always take the lowest bid???? Plus if two bids are the same and one is from a friend, then chose the friend.
