The Defence Ministry fact-finding team investigating alleged irregularities involving the Army's Rajabhakti Park project will complete its work before the year-end, according to its head.
General Chaicharn Changmongkol, Deputy Permanent Secretary for Defence who heads the fact-finding team, said Wednesday his panel had received good cooperation from everyone involved and he expected the investigation to be completed within this year.
“The fact-finding committee is gathering evidence and questioning witnesses. We will deal with this matter transparently and we will ensure fairness to all,” Chaicharn said.
