The nine, together with Pheu Thai politicians, visited the area since they suspected that the project was corrupted. The project rarely has a progress while it was supposed to be finished within 30 November 2015, observed Watana.
According to Watana, the junta granted gave the licence of the project to the War Veteran Organization (WVO), which has no experience in dredging project at all. The project costs more than nine million baht.
