DSI targets Tourism Dept equipment purchases
Play
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) claims it has found irregularities in the Tourism Department's Bt714-million procurements of recreational/exercise equipment.
The DSI now suspects that some high-level officials might have deliberately violated laws and will ask that the National Anti-Corruption Commission take action against them.
The procurements were made through the budget of the Tourism Department, which is under the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
“The procurements were carried out between 2012 and 2014,” DSI deputy chief Pong-In Intarakhao said Wednesday, “But there are many irregularities in the procurement process”.
