webfact Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 TABLETSActivist alleges collusion in tablet procurementKamolthip Bai-ngernThe NationBANGKOK: -- An anti-graft activist claims he has uncovered numerous alleged irregularities in procurements for the government's problematic One Tablet Per Child project.The project has failed to deliver a single tablet to students for the 2013 academic year.Mongkonkit Suksintaranon, secretary general of an anti-corruption network, accuses there has been bidding collusion and other irregularities in what he labelled as questionable procurements.He said Shenzhen Yitao Intelligent Control announced that it had secured the tablet contract from the Thai government four months before bidding took place.The Chinese supplier terminated its contracts with the government earlier this year without delivering any tablets. Another supplier, Jasmine Telecom Systems, also missed delivery deadlines.By the end of this month, it would have delivered less than 10 per cent of some 400,000 tablets it was contracted to produce since late least year.Mongkonkit said he wrote to caretaker Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang to raise concerns about the e-auction for the tablet procurement and the suppliers."In reply, he has told me authorities are in place to oversee the procurements and address all relevant issues," he said.-- The Nation 2014-02-11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyatom Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Telling us what we already know. Let me provide some other details that will be released eventually. It will be found that in almost every dealing in every scheme, somewhere in the food chain will be a Shinawatra. What is the betting that most of the shares in each company given these huge contracts were bought up ferociously by shins and PTP MPs, including and especially Thaksin. Then a reason for the collapse of the deal, but not before these same people have unloaded their shares at a tidy profit. Then a new round of bidding begins... All the new shares will already be bought and these SAME people will already know the winning companies. See... Chinese tablet company, and Chinese rice company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickymaster Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Yes Yingluck, how much was the down payment paid to Shenzhen Yitao Intelligent Control before the closed down? Yes correct, THB 800,000,000. And where is that money know? I think we know the answer. Edited February 11, 2014 by Nickymaster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mightyatom Posted February 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2014 Are we surprised, no we are not. Of course give this thread a few hours to run and the usual trolls will be on here spinning all the usual nonsense. Let's make it hard for them to spin their nonsense then. Notice the strange activity just prior to the announcement that they no longer had that massive contract? Does that look like a company that was on the verge of collapse? See how the share price was pumped up since the middle of December..... Now tell me this is all clean and above board. Also take note of the recovery after the loss of contract. That can only be because the company has not lost money, it has made profit and the market knows it via 'inside sources'. That means it has had the Thai tax payer;s money (minus of course what they paid Yingers, Thaksin and the ED minister). Or is someone going to try to convince me that they would never ever do something like that. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini81 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Worst cheaters in history, can't conceal their cheating and graft to save their life. Nor will they be able to enjoy it in the next life, when they pay for all the bad things they've done. We knew all these plans PTP had would fail from the onset, and was just a wait to extort taxpayer's money. Can't believe some still fall for it. Imagine the development of this country over the last 12 years with the absence of a Shinawatra gene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomacht8 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The Thai procurement process. There is a major source of corruption. All government projects are fraught with corruption. That goes from the top to the bottom. The problem is that these projects are not controlled and there is absolutely no transparency. And if someone asks, he will be bribed too. This works like this: The village chief and his assistants has submitted an application, for example a new road. He then gets the money for a concrete road 18 cm thick with steel reinforcement. His brother / friend who happens to have a construction business then building a road 10 cm thick and saves on steel. After 2 months you can then admire the village chief in his new Mercedes Benz. That runs so by all projects: rice, water, buildings, roads, hospitals, schools, trays, luggage scanners, fire department cars, etc. I hope they reform this crap. by making these processes transparent with a compulsory documentation. There must be-possible, in our modern media world, that anyone can see how much money the mayor gets in the hand for which projects. The problem is that the country's leaders do not want any reforms, as otherwise how they would then come to money. With honest work? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With honest work? viilage chief years ago he was probably the best skimmer in the business. He even doing now while skinning the fund's raised in the name of his protest movem Looks like you have copied a page out of Suthep's Diary from around 1970.. As we know he was a Village Chief years ago and that is likely when he learned how to manipulate and skim the people.. The problem with many of today's commentators is that they are so motivated by their daydreams of their zero cost income that they think everyone is just like them. Any of you that have placed or managed high value contracts in China knows that Chinese contracts often go bad either when they discover that their low bid, that was only made so their lawyer could negotiate a cost plus price later, was anticipated in the buyers contract document. On other occasions when a Chinese business bid low the second second delivery comes from a factory no one ever heard of. In this case the subcontractor is unable to meet the specification. When you break open the second consignment from China you feel like crying because the possibility of litigating is minimal because they plead insolvency. If you want to understand industrial corruption go to China and get the facts not tear down your own government. The bottom line is don't place high value contracts with companies in China unless they are prepared issue their bond of guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scamper Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yet another horrifically " managed " programme by Pheu Thai, who are blissfully charging ahead with it anyway, oblivious that they have no mandate, no power to arrange contracts, or to delegate funds.
