SAO dodges blameListen to this articleCracked pillars are seen in the basement of the collapsed State Audit Office building in May. PATTARAPONG CHATPATTARASILLThe State Audit Office (SAO)'s latest statement on the collapse of its 30-storey headquarters is deeply disappointing. The SAO says the collapse of the 2-billion-baht building resulted from flaws in both design and construction that failed to meet legal safety standards. As the project owner, the SAO was responsible for overseeing the bidding process, appointing contractors and approving designs, permits and construction. In any public construction project, acceptance requires signatures -- and signatures carry responsibility.
