Reporters reported that Today, several parties came to the OAG to request an investigation on this matter. Mr. Srisuwan said that coming to submit the letter this time After checking, it was found that there were many suspicious things, such as a commodity account. prepared by the Budget Office is not directly comparable to the label preparation There are no memorandums of the middle appraisal meeting shown. To see the price comparison in the preparation of labels of various companies. in a similar way Instead, they used a specific method to select the company responsible for this project without bidding. Although this method is used only in cases of urgent necessity. or related to security But replacing the station sign is not an urgent matter that must be completed by December 2022. SRT has already come in at least 8 projects worth more than 50 billion baht, so it may be considered a fault. State job offers, also known as auction bidding, according to the Government Procurement and Supplies Act B.E. But if there is no offer so that specific methods can be used But in the SRT’s explanation, therefore, I personally think that the labeling at the label price At the price of 300,000 baht per letter, too high
While Dr. Warong Detkitwikrom, leader of the Thai Phakdi Party, believes that there is corruption in the construction of a project to improve the name plate. “Bangnam Central Station” to “Krungthep Apiwat Central Station”, contributing to the document. Because a specific method is used to select companies to enter. Implement the project in the budget of 33,169,726 baht, although there is no urgent need. And the construction is not anything complicated. and the average price should be lower than this
Therefore asked the SAO to check whether there was a political party involved or not. because now in Thai society there is a lot of corruption both in the case of the Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, as well as the Du Hao case In addition, now the political parties are earning money because the election is near. Therefore, for the sake of transparency, verifiable The Minister of Transport must come out and show responsibility. Set up a committee to check and set a clear date and time. Don’t put the burden on other agencies.
In this regard, Dr. Warong also proposed to the Minister of Transport. Order to stop the project to change the name plate of Bang Sue Grand Station. to wait for the facts to be verified first And if found to be fraudulent, a new auction price must be opened. to achieve transparency.
