Amid growing concerns over alleged irregularities, the TH-AI Passport project, the brainchild of Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaichanok Chidchob, has triggered a wave of criticism and left the Bhumjaithai-led government politically exposed.
Earlier this week, the opposition warned it would seek an anti-graft investigation into the 1.6-billion-baht project if the government presses ahead with it. The DES Ministry has insisted it will proceed because the contract has already been signed. The House legal affairs committee also plans to summon Mr Chaichanok to explain the project next week.
