After more than five years of delay, the House of Representatives has finally decided to fine the contractor responsible for the new parliament s construction. However, whether the penalty will be enforced or not remains in doubt.
The secretariat of the House of Representatives recently rejected a request by Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction Plc (Stecon) to extend the construction period of the 23-billion-baht parliament complex for a fifth time, from January to May, after the company failed to finish the project by the deadline set on Dec 31.
Following the decision, Stecon is now subject to a fine of 12.3 million baht per day, until construction is complete.
