Prayut takes Sukhumbhand to task for flooding

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha Tuesday took Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra to task for repeatedly failing to solve flooding in the capital.

Prayut said the flooding Monday occurred because of poor management because there was huge garbage in the drainage system and only one of four main water pumps could function. Prayut said he might step in to assign the BMA city clerk to be in charge of flood prevention.
