The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has launched an investigation into alleged irregularities involving lamp post procurements by several local officials in Samut Prakan.
Niwatchai Kasemmongkol, NACC deputy secretary-general and spokesman, said the anti-graft body met on Thursday to look at the findings into allegations that some executives of the Racha Thewa tambon administration organisation (TAO) in Samut Prakan were involved in irregularities in the procurement of solar-powered street lamps topped with mythical kinnaree figures.
It was found that the TAO launched projects to procure street lamps in fiscal years 2013, 2014, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
However, the procurement procedures did not follow the Interior Ministry s regulations governing local administration budgets, Mr Niwatchai said.
