TRT complains to Auditor General over Saprang's trip
The Thai Rak Thai Party filed a complaint on Tuesday to Office of the Auditor General against the use of funds for the overseas excursion by Council for National Security assistant secretarygeneral General Saprang Kalayanamitr.
The party deputy spokesman Suthin Klangsaeng said there was a lack of transparency as to how the money was spent by Saprang who also chairs Airport of Thailand board.

"It is not right to have such excursions when the country is in economic hardship. Other state agencies have postponed such trips,'' he said. Suthin also submitted the same complaint to Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont and said he will lodge the complaint with National Counter Corruption Commission and Assets Examination Committee. CNS spokesman Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd defended Saprang saying that he is a man with integrity and transparency. "He is honest and straightforward. His record is clean,'' he said. The Nation
