Bangkok Post
|April 02, 2025
The government is stepping up its probe into other construction projects linked to the Chinese contractor of the State Audit Office's (SAO) under-construction building that collapsed in Bangkok during last Friday's earthquake.
-
Speaking after yesterday's cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said she instructed various agencies to investigate all construction projects awarded to China Railway No.10 Engineering Group.
The SAO contracted a consortium of Italian-Thai Development Plc and China Railway No.10 to construct the 2.1-billion-baht building.
"All concerned agencies were instructed to delve deeper to find out how many other projects the company is undertaking," the prime minister said.
She said the collapsed building has cost lives and negatively affected Thailand's image.
Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong has ordered the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to investigate, she added.
