Abhisit seeks probe into audio system controversy

Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva Thursday urged Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha to look into the controversy over the purchase of expensive audio systems, warning that public faith in his government could erode otherwise.

The Prayuth administration was hit by a public and media outcry over the planned procurement of a high-tech audio system for the Cabinet meeting rooms, which included 89 microphones that come with LCD screens earlier quoted at Bt145,000 each. The price was higher than the market price and raised suspicions of alleged corruption.
