The Central Administrative Court Wednesday ruled in favour of former commerce minister Watana Muangsook, freeing him from the obligation to pay damages to the city administration over the controversial fire vehicle deal.
Watana filed the lawsuit against the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, arguing against the BMA’s demand for him to pay compensation over the inflated prices of fire vehicles the BMA was told to purchase from Austria's Steyr Daimler Puch Spezialfahrzeug.
The court ruled that Watana had nothing to do with the order to have the BMA urgently sign purchase contract with the Austrian firm.
