By Thai PBS Reporters

 

 

LOEI: -- A disciplinary committee is to be set up to investigate chief of Phurua national park in Loei province after it was discovered that the 1,300 “life” weir projects he initiated did not have the approval of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plants Conservation and 20 million baht in budget had been secured and spent to implement the projects.

 

The department head, Mr Tunya Netithammakul, said on Wendesday that the government sector’s Anti-Corruption Commission had checked the 1,300 “life” weir projects, 20 semi-permanent weir projects, construction of fire trenches stretching 110 kilometres long and training of volunteers in natural resources protection and conservation undertaken by Phurua national park administration led by Mr Ronnapob Katchamart, the park chief.

 

The park received 10 million baht budget annually from the Loei provincial administration for implementation of the projects.

o let me guess, he also owned the contracting and sub-contracting companies that did the work

Just another normal day in the LOS appears someone higher in the chain of command didn't get to share !

what is always interesting to me is the SCALE of misdeeds when unearthed; not one or two or even ten; 1300+

When you consider that, for so long, this country's ruling family concentrated on plundering all possible financial avenues, doesn't it follow that every one starts to think that it must be OK for them also

Every park chief

Another committee? In the news today there has been about four new committees created. There seems no end to committees and seafood buffet lunches.
