Mr Kasemsun said the two parties to the dispute concluded the Pollution Control Department will pay the consortium the first tranche of three billion baht in May and the second tranche of six billion baht in November next year, adding the money will be allocated from all state-owned agencies' fiscal budgets.
For example, the fiscal budget for the ministry's Office of the Permanent Secretary was cut off by five million baht, followed by 25 million baht from the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning and more.
"That is equivalent to the ministry's fiscal budget five years ago when it was established. I think when you read the court's verdict clearly, you will know why it ends like this," he said.
