Prayut Chan-ocha, Prime Minister, called the meeting of the Rice Policy and Management Board On 22 October, as Public Warehouse Organization (PW) proposed Rice Policy and Management Board to consider the damage of the rice pledging stock remain in the warehouse after Ministry of Commerce had released all 17.76 million tons rice stock received from the former government and received approximately 0.146 Trillion baht from the rice selling. Public Warehouse Organization has initially estimated the damage of the stock is worth 90 billion baht, based on the average price of each kind of rice in the stock subtracted from the sale price. The difference value will be called for compensation from the owner of the warehouse kept government’s rice and the surveyers who inspected rice quality of each warehouse. Rice Storage Area Include a servier or a quality checker at a warehouse. But this number is also a minor damage figure. Compared to reality The government will offer to rent the warehouses to improve the quality of rice.By the way as the damage seems lower than reality, then PW suggested to add the rice quality maintenance cost to the cost of the damage. Addition to the damage cost, for the case of the lawsuit, prosecution alleges damage to 224 owners of the Warehouse, causing damage to the state during 2011 to 2014, but received controversy from the parties confirmed that they did not commit a breach of contract, but the damage caused by the stock deteriorated itself over the condition and too long time stored. PW secured 50 contract guarantee of the warehouse owners while PW decided to select some cases proceeded to civil lawsuits, claiming full compensation rather than securing contract guarantees. Premier Pryuth government has made reminding order to MOC and related agencies to pursue the lawsuit against those who have damaged the royalties in the rice pledging program more and sooner after the time has gone for the rice drainage process and the cooperation of the staff of PW, which is the main factor in the pledging project, in accounting record and monitoring the rice entered and exited the warehouses. Premier Prayuth has also command to have the rice pledged account to be closed without delay after the pledged rice of the project had been sold out of stock and make the disclosure of all facts published to the public to be the lesson for all parties to aware of the damage to national budgets caused by the inadequate policy implementation, open gap for corruption, which caused Thailand’s historical huge corruption damage figure that must be the lesson to prevent it not to return to haunt Thai people again in the future.
