Panel: No graft in police stations

A police panel investigating alleged irregularities in the Royal Thai Police Office's (RTPO) project to build 396 police stations nationwide has so far found no evidence of corruption, Pol Gen Jate Mongkolhatthi said.

Pol Gen Jate, an RTPO adviser who chairs the panel, said from a preliminary examination the investigators had so far found no evidence of irregularities in the project, unlike the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) which claimed it had sufficient evidence of corruption to treat it as a special case.

He said every step of implementing the project, starting from the drafting of the terms of reference (ToR) to the bidding for the construction of the police stations, had been properly examined and certified correct.

    "A police panel investigating alleged irregularities in the Royal Thai Police"

    I stopped reading after this, discussion 3 and 6 below can tell you why :-)

    It is good to know that there were no irregularities because every step of implementing the project, starting from the drafting of the terms of reference (ToR) to the bidding for the construction of the police stations, had been properly examined and certified correct. The ball is now at the contractor, PCC Development and Construction Co. to answer why the constructions were left unfinished. They were given 'grace extension' three times and have not honored them.

    "A police panel investigating alleged irregularities in the Royal Thai Police Office's (RTPO) project", hahahaha, wouldn't expect otherwise. And the show goes on. This beautiful country runs on half speed because of its corruption syndrome.

    1. Where is the money?

    2. How come there are no police stations built?

    Pretty simple to conclude billions of baht did not disappear into thin air; but into someone's pocket.

    No wonder TS wants to control Bangkok with a former policemen for the new governor

    Billions completely disappear, nothing unusual according to the government.

    Amazing that politicians think the rest of the country is this stupid to believe this preposterous investigation

    Of course the DSI will claim there is corruption, so Tarit can serve his master and try to pin it on Abhisit

    So, the Thai Police investigated the Thai Police and found no graft. Amazing

  • Discussion 2 : 14 Feb 2013 at 19.182

    If no graft proven then it is acceptable but how do you explain the stations not being built and what was the money spent on.

  • Discussion 1 : 14 Feb 2013 at 19.151

    Only a single company bid for this large and potentially very lucrative contract, and the panel cannot find even the smallest hint of corruption? Methinks they need new glasses.
