B3.83bn sought to fund construction
The main opposition People's Party (PP) yesterday questioned the necessity to spend 3.83 billion baht to fund the planned construction of a new office building for the Transport Ministry, set to begin in the next fiscal year.
"I still remember how people criticised the State Audit Office for spending up to 2.56 billion baht constructing its new office building, which collapsed [in the earthquake],” said Surachet Pravinvongvuth, a PP list-MP.
“But the Transport Ministry's new building is even more costly,” Mr Surachet added.
He was speaking on the second day of the House of Representatives’ deliberation of the government's 3.78-trillion-baht budget bill for the 2026 fiscal year, which starts in October.
