The Office of the Auditor-General (OAG) is set to delve into the navy's submarine purchase though any information discovered that is regarded as security-sensitive will not be disclosed. Mr Pisit said Thursday the OAG is ready to check the submarine purchase as requested. Mr Pisit said the OAG is looking into the need to seek a budget for the submarine purchase, and will study the potential impacts stemming from the purchase. The OAG will disclose information regarding the submarine purchase where necessary, but it will not divulge any secret and security-sensitive information. Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra posted a message on her Facebook page Thursday, saying she disagreed with the government's submarine purchase procurement as the country is still dealing with economic problems.
