Futsal fields to be checked
Play
A team of engineers will today further inspect futsal fields at 16 schools in Nakhon Ratchasima's Non Sung district that reportedly wore out prematurely - leading to suspicion of corruption.
The team would check the fields’ structure, degradation and materials this month, Theerasak Wiriyaklompan, director of the Office of the Auditor-General, said.
Theerasak said the findings could potentially be used as evidence against the contractor, who won the bid to build the pitches for 50 Nakhon Ratchasima schools.
If the findings pointed to corruption, the OAG would proceed with disciplinary and civil action against the contractor while also forwarding the case to the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission to proceed with a criminal action.
Theerasak said an inspection at three Non Sung schools found that the construction-material-standard certificates were signed by only the contractor, when they should have been signed by the hirer. The median prices, which were supposed to have been reviewed by the schools, were not reviewed.
