Senate panel calls for review of bt350-billion project
March 10, 2014 5:11 pm
A SENATE subcommittee has called for a review of the government's Bt350-billion water-management project out of concern that it "may not be a worthwhile investment".
"I am worried that without changes made to the planned modules, the massive investment may not be worthwhile and end up being inefficient," the subcommittee's spokesman Thanawat Jarupongsakul said Monday.
Apart from working as a lecturer at Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Science, Thanawat also serves in the Senate subcommittee on budgeting for water-resources management.
He raised his concerns about the expensive water-management modules at an academic seminar, which was held by his committee in collaboration with relevant agencies.
