Red-shirt leaders have vowed to visit Rajabhakti Park to

 investigate the alleged corruption in the one-billion-baht project

 in Prachuap Khiri Khan Monday, despite military efforts to block

 them from the park. Speaking in a TV programme Sunday,

Jatuporn Prompan, leader of the United Front for Democracy

against Dictatorship (UDD), said military officers were deployed

 at the entrances of the housing estates where he and Nattawut

 Saikua, UDD secretary-general, stayed Sunday morning.

The deployment seemed to be an attempt to block them from

 going to the park, Mr Jatuporn said. The UDD leader said

 he and Mr Nattawut will travel to the place as planned, adding

that if they cancelled the plan, public suspicion over the park

 scandal would intensify.

 He also warned authorities the situation may get out of hand

if they try to prevent them from entering the park, as the

obstruction would mean authorities have something to hide.

National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) spokesman

 Winthai Suvaree said the red-shirt leaders should be cautious

 about their movements as the visit could be seen as politically

 motivated.

Meanwhile, the defence ministry said a committee set up by

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon on Friday has called

 a meeting to discuss the graft probe.

 The panel will gather evidence and invite concerned ministry

officers -- including Gen Preecha Chan-o-cha, who is a member

 of the Rajabhakti Park Foundation committee -- to explain

 the steps taken in the park's construction, said Defence

 Ministry spokesman Maj Gen Kongcheep Tantrawanit.

 

"We need time for this panel to work thoroughly in its

 fact-finding mission," said the spokesman.

 

Meanwhile, Maj Gen Kongcheep has insisted the ministry is also

 ready to to support state bodies which probe the project's

 construction, for the sake of transparency.

 Ex-army chief Gen Udomdej Sitabutr could also be asked

to give information as he is the foundation's chairman,

said a source.

National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) president

 Panthep Klanarongran said Sunday the agency's secretary-general

 has conducted a secret investigation into the scandal, and

will report the results at an agency meeting Tuesday.
