Yasothon Anti-Corruption Officials Investigate Delayed Road Project
Provincial authorities have inspected a 4.9 million baht road construction project in Yasothon that remains unstarted with only two months left on the contract.
On August 4, 2026, officials from the Yasothon Provincial Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) conducted an on-site inspection of a stalled infrastructure project. According to Khaosod Online, the project involves the construction of a reinforced concrete road connecting Ban Mak Mai and Ban Phon Mueang in Kho Wang District, under the jurisdiction of the Yasothon Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO).
The project, valued at 4,989,900 baht, was designed to span 1,120 meters in length and 6 meters in width. The contract, which began on May 29, 2026, stipulates a 120-day completion window. With only two months remaining before the contract expires, construction has yet to commence. NACC officials have ordered the responsible parties to accelerate the work and ensure strict adherence to legal regulations.
For residents and travelers in the area, this delay means the planned infrastructure improvements remain unavailable, potentially affecting local transport efficiency. While the NACC is monitoring the situation to ensure the budget is utilized correctly, it remains to be confirmed whether the contractor will be able to complete the project within the remaining timeframe or if the PAO will face further administrative challenges. The NACC continues to oversee the project to prevent potential mismanagement of public funds.
