“Suphanat” MP from People’s Party condemns ITD and Anutin due to construction standards negligence

On January 14, 2026, Suphanat Minchaiynunt, a Bangkok MP candidate from the People’s Party, condemned the operations of Italian-Thai Development Public Company Limited (ITD) and Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul through his personal social media accounts.

Suphanat said that as a former MP who has consistently pushed for the issue of “raising construction standards” and as the People’s Party’s representative in debating the issue on the day the Anutin-led government delivered its policy statement to parliament, and in proposing a motion for the House to establish a committee to study improvements to construction and safety standards, he strongly condemns ITD’s operations. He said the company’s actions have repeatedly resulted in incidents that endanger lives and public safety. He also called on the company’s executives to publicly apologize to the victims and take responsibility for the incident as soon as possible.

At the same time, Suphanat also criticized the Anutin administration for failing to expedite the signing of a ministerial regulation on “downgrading contractor classifications,” despite the draft being completed. He said he had raised the issue and urged the government to sign the regulation in September, but the administration ignored the matter until the House was dissolved. As a result, authorities were unable to downgrade or disqualify companies that had acted negligently and recklessly from bidding on government projects.

Suphanat raised proposals to elevate construction standards and safety measures, some of which he had previously proposed while serving as Vice-Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on Enhancing Construction Standards. He stated that, in fact, there are many additional measures and several pieces of legislation, both at the Act level and the ministerial regulation level, that the committee had studied and proposed for amendment to Parliament. However, due to the dissolution of Parliament, there was no opportunity to debate the report in Parliament in order to forward it directly to the government.
