Democrat politician Wilas Chanpithak suspects there were irregularities in the purchase of three river boats by City Hall's law enforcement department at a cost of 40 million baht and wants the procedure investigated.
The first was a 6.5-million-baht 38-foot-long fibreglass boat with a 250-horsepower engine, the second an 11-million-baht 45-foot-long 300-horsepower boat, and the third a 26.5-million baht multi-purpose 450-horsepower boat.
He suspected irregularities in the acquisition of the third boat because its fittings were similar to those of a tour boat. It was fitted with an airconditioning system and other amenities including a television set and a sound system.
It was not equipped with emergency or rescue gear.
(I guess they spent all the loot on the " other amenities"
)
