Concerns Raised Over TH-AI Project Transparency
The 'Karn Dee' group has petitioned the Office of the Auditor General to halt the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society's budget disbursement for the TH-AI project, citing potential irregularities.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 21, 2026, the 'Karn Dee' group has officially submitted a petition to the Office of the Auditor General (OAG). The group is requesting that the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES) suspend the inspection and acceptance of work, as well as the disbursement of funds, related to the TH-AI project.
The petitioners allege that the project has failed to adhere to established integrity agreements, raising significant concerns regarding the transparency of the procurement and implementation process. By involving the OAG, the group aims to ensure that public funds are managed according to strict regulatory standards.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this development highlights ongoing scrutiny regarding the management of national digital infrastructure projects. While such administrative disputes are common in the public sector, they can sometimes lead to delays in the rollout of government-backed digital services or platforms. At this stage, it remains to be confirmed how the Office of the Auditor General will respond to the petition and whether the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society will pause the project's budget disbursement as requested. No official findings of wrongdoing have been established at this time.
