One of the contractors for the collapsed State Audit Office ( SAO ) building, Kriengsak Kovadhana, executive vice president of Italian-Thai Development, testified on Tuesday at the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI) about the contract terms for the building’s construction contracts.

Mr. Kriengsak may be questioned about the selling process, labor supply, and compensation plans, according to Pol Lt Col Amorn Hongsrithong, chairman of the DS I’s Bureau of Government Procurement Fraud.

10 professionals involved in the construction project were likewise summoned to testify about the accuracy of their names on job documents and their roles on the job on the same day, according to Mr. Kriengsak, with investigators tasked with checking whether their signatures match those on the documents.

Just seven responded to the request, though. He claimed that if the last three didn’t show up, they may be contacted once more.

The DSI is also looking into over 100 cartons of records that were taken from the SAO office on Monday, according to Pol Lt Col Amorn.

Documents were collected about the development process, job supervision, economic disbursements, and daily work records.

This year, researchers, Department of Public Works and Town and Country Planning officials, SAO representatives, and representatives of the project’s joint venture will be scheduled to perform a combined examination and explanation of these documents. He said that this review is expected to have a significant impact on the bid-rigging event.

At the site of the fell SAO building, browsing operations continued.

One alive human brain and five smaller system parts were discovered in Zone B near a staircase on Monday evening, according to Suriyachai Rawiwan, chairman of the Hazard Prevention and Mitigation Office, on Tuesday.

He claimed rescue personnel have reached portions of the earth surface and subsurface ground in Zones A and D and are now concentrating on removing debris from Zones C2 and C3, where patients are thought to be trapped.
