Sansern concerned with Bannavit's actions

Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongcha-um has expressed his concerns over Bannavit Kengrien's intervention in several transport state agencies, particularly the State Railway of Thailand.



 Sansern said on Friday that aside from the SRT, Bannavit as chairman of the National Legislative Assembly's committee on transport, has also issued instructions for several other agencies. He admitted that the instructions caused confusion to the public.

 Bannavit earlier announced that SRT would not extend the lease contract to Central Group, though the issue is still considered by the Council of State.

 "These state agencies should stick to their policies," Sansern said.

 On the contract extension for Airport Rail Link project, he said the final decision would be made by the committee established by the Transport Ministry.  The committee will discuss with the Assets Examination Commission.

 Meanwhile, on the lease to Central Group, while the Council of State is considering the existing contract, SRT is also hiring an advisor to reevaluate the Lat Phrao property which will give a rough idea how much SRT should receive from the lease extension.

 "I have told SRT officials that in whatever they do, take public benefits as the priority as well as legal fairness to all parties," he said.
