The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) and the Office of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) Region 5 are investigating allegations of corruption in Mae Pang Municipality in Phrao District of Chiang Mai province, Chiang Mai Governor ML Panadda Diskul reported at a press conference on March 13, 2012.

The DSI and PACC received a complaint from the Provincial Administration Organization (PAO) that alleged fraud had taken place for the more than 3 million Baht budget allocated to dealing with both the cold weather earlier and the haze crisis. Nirat Kochamoom of the Chiang Mai PAO said that the alleged irregularities occurred during local elections and that funds may have been used to pay for campaigning instead.

The Governor noted that transparency at all levels of government was required and that all officials and administrators should adhere to the guidelines. He added that anyone found breaking the law will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
