It was initially known that there would be a press conference this Monday. Initially it should be good. But the inspection has not yet been completed. Because he had to inspect the quality of the rice, fat, and various subs
tances in the rice, he thought he would wait for him to inspect it clearly. If he comes out and makes a statement confirming everything. An auction will be held.

However, now the Warehouse Organization (OCS) has been given the go-ahead. The principles are not different. Will look at the contract more tightly. It will prevent auctioning and leaving the work with more expenses. To avoid any delays, we will rank 1-5 people who were left out. The next rank can come up. No need to open a new auction. Will look at the details again. All in all, it must be considered comfortable because after 10 years, you can actually still eat it. Physically, it’s still okay. If there is any doubt, it will be made clear. and will auction the entire pile Because rice is not enough, 150,000 sacks, go see the results at the auction.

In addition to the bidders listening to information from the Department of Medical Sciences, Must check as well. Wouldn’t risk the money and lives of people in the country. Everyone will be comfortable.
Because we don’t think that our life is more important. Or African people are not important. But Africa is an old rice market. This is old rice. But old rice that comes from jasmine rice should be even better. He had no problem eating it. But make everyone feel comfortable. And he thought not to think about anything more than this. Because they took things that were in government warehouses and managed them to get more money back. I want the auction to happen. In any case, it’s better than when the 5 baht auction was a rotten thing. Even 10 years old rice can still be done. We have to go back and reconsider and think again
