webfact Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Govt warehouse agency in trouble over suspected graft By The Nation Five private firms are thinking about suing the Public Warehouse Organisation (PWO) over alleged corruption related to a Bt112-billion purchase deal for surgical gloves. The organisation reportedly closed the deal with local company, Guardian Gloves, on August 13 and the contract showed Pol Colonel Roongroj, then-acting PWO director, as the buyer. Meanwhile, seven companies had signed a separate deal with PWO worth Bt186 billion. However, one of the firms, KK Oil and Gas Company, is accusing the government of refusing to help the private sector amid the Covid-19 outbreak and forcing them to lose revenue by blocking exports at a time when global demand for surgical gloves was 15 times higher than usual. The company also accused the authorities of corruption. The company also suggested that PWO sign a new deal with Guardian Gloves, or there may be negative consequences leading to the private companies suing PWO. Roonroj said the initial deal was not approved by the PWO board, adding that mistakes may have been made but there was no corruption.

Artisi Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just another honest mistake, all above board - unfortunately there was a minor error made, but be assured there there wasn't any corruption "as no Thai would do that". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Quote Meanwhile, seven companies had signed a separate deal with PWO worth Bt186 billion I'm still amazed the deal was for Bt186 Billion....not million but billion. Either they were going to make enough gloves for the entire planet or each glove was going to cost a 100 times more than it should. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it happens over and over again in the thai press, they use cheap chinese calculators which give errors when there's more than 2 zero's.
