A group of opposition parties on Thursday petitioned the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to investigate key government figures for losses over the Orange Line project.
They asked for a probe into Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob over alleged misconduct blamed for a 68-billion-baht loss in taxpayers' money in bidding for the Orange Line's western expansion.
According to the petition, Gen Prayut and Mr Saksayam should be held responsible for alleged bidding price collusion and dereliction of duty as they failed to take proper action to correct the result of the bidding on the Orange Line's Bang Khun Non-Min Buri extension.
