He was referring to results from an ongoing investigation into protection centres for the destitute across the country. The investigation started after a university student, Panida Yotpanya, blew the whistle on alleged irregularities at the Khon Kaen Protection Centre where she was an intern. According to Korntip, there are 70 protection centres for the destitute across the country. The PACC plans to investigate 31 centres before the end of May, as those had received a budget of more than Bt1 million each. The Chiang Mai Protection Centre for the Destitute has been one of the biggest budget recipients, having received as much as Bt8.58 million.
