The State Audit Office (SAO) is continuing to pay rent for the site of its collapsed new headquarters, as its lease with the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) remains in force until Sept 30, 2033.
The issue resurfaced during the first reading of the fiscal 2027 Budget Bill after People's Party MP Panida Mongkolsawat said the SAO had six years remaining on the lease and would pay a total of 764 million baht under the agreement.
