The chairman of PCC Development and Construction (PCC) broke his silence on Thursday, blaming the Royal Thai Police Office (RTPO) for his company's controversial failure to complete the construction of hundreds of police buildings nationwide.

Piboon Udonsithikul, the PCC chairman, said in Chiang Mai that construction fell behind schedule because the RTPO failed to hand over the land on time, as promised in the contract.

The police office was required to make the land available to the builders within 160 days, but failed to do so. In some areas it took up to 600 days, Mr Paiboon said at a press conference on Thursday.

There seems to be a political witch hunt surrounding this case, which might just as easily be explained by general Thai inefficiency and tardiness.

I've yet to meet a single Thai contractor that delivered what they said, on time and to spec. This looks like more of the same on a bigger scale.

How much have been paid to PCC? Where is the balance of the funds? How can PCC say the delay in handing over the land caused the problem? The photo's show half completed buildings, thus the land where these buildings stand have been handed over so why are they not completed?

Where is or what happened to the money? This seems like a case easily solved by "following the money trail".

I think we can be sure that politicians, police officers and one or more construction companies are all involved in this. Now the question is who is interested to find out all the details about all the involved parties – the politicians and police for sure not.
