DSI hopes to end fire truck probe soon
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has detected irregularities in the Bt6.68-billion deal to purchase fire trucks and fireboats, and is set to conclude who should take responsibility.
"I have some suspects in mind already," Nanthasak Poonsuk, a senior official at DSI, said yesterday. He declined to identify at which stage the irregularities were detected, saying that suspects could tamper with evidence. On Monday, DSI deputy director-general Pol Colonel Tawee Sodsong said he expected the probe to end this month. "If we find any official guilty, we will refer the case to the National Counter Corruption Commission," Tawee said. He was speaking after he met Bangkok Governor Apirak Kosayodhin for more than four hours to get more information. The project was prepared during the transition from former city governor Samak Sundaravej to Apirak. Piyanuch ThamnukasetchaiThe Nation
