AEC Chairman not been informed yet concerning 19 million baht budget  
 
Chairman of the Asset Examination Committee (AEC) Nam Yimyaem (¹ÒÁ ÂÔéÁáÂéÁ) revealed that he has not yet been informed that the Budget Office has denied an AEC request for 19 million baht in additional funding.

The AEC though states that the matter will not affect the performance of the organization as it has implemented several money saving measures. The committee has reduced its number of organization vehicles from three cars to two as well as reducing personnel. An AEC meeting will have to decide on how it will be able to acquire additional funding to continue to operate. Members of the organization have suggested receiving donations to help the body keep working until it finishes its term.

Mr. Nam said that the committee is still continuing its operations and is focused on resolving its cases before the end of its term. The AEC yesterday interrogated an additional witness in a case concerning the procurement of fire trucks and boats by the former Bangkok administration.
