NACC Pattani Office launches inspection on Ko Chan dredging project
The Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC Office) in Pattani Province has launched an inspection on the dredging project in Ko Chan Subdistrict, Mayo District, which has a budget of 897,000 baht.
On December 15, 2025, Mr. Ram Wasuthanapinyo, Director of the NACC Songkhla Office, as Acting Director of the NACC Pattani Office, assigned a corruption prevention unit to inspect the project for dredging drainage ditches and laying reinforced concrete pipes within the sub-district.
Following a briefing by officials at the Ko Chan Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, it was found that the project is currently over 80% complete. The project was awarded through a selection process to Atifan Yothakij Limited Partnership, under contract number 01/2569, dated November 25, 2025, with a completion date of January 4, 2026, totaling 40 days. To date, the work has not yet been handed over or officially inspected by the subdistrict.
The NACC officials therefore visited the site to observe the width, length, and height of the excavated soil piles left along the canal embankment according to the specifications to calculate the volume of excavated soil and compare it to the amount required by the contract.
They found that the dredging may not have been carried out according to the specified specifications. Therefore, the NACC officials raised concerns and provided recommendations, emphasizing the need to strictly adhere to all relevant regulations and laws to protect the national interest and budget.
The NACC Pattani Office will continue to monitor and oversee the dredging project. Individuals with information on corruption in the area can report it to the NACC Pattani Office through any of its channels, including Tel. 073-337256-7, hotline 1205, and NACC Pattani Facebook page.
