Yeah right! More min-slush funds all over the country ripe for the taking. More Junta Party and PM popularity and potential buying. How blatant can this poiticking get? 19 minutes ago, webfact said: ".......implement new measures to elevate quality of life and reduce social inequality " Elevate the quality of life for those who administer the funds while increasing the gap between the rich and the poor. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post colinneil Posted June 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2018 Great idea Prayut, get the village heads on your side, then they persuade villagers that Khun Prayut is the man to vote for. Every village head now looking at buying new vehicles for themselves, as very little of the money will go to help villagers. Like the government handout 2 years ago when a pu yai bahn bought a tractor supposedly for the village, but only his family get to use it. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dave67 Posted June 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2018 300.000 is nothing. I cant see Tambons swaying the way of Junta for the measly sum. Not enough to cover 4 years of neglect. Malaysia style Landslide loss for the Junta in February. Like Najib, Prayut is playing the friend of the of the people and trying to manufacture a win which didn't work in Malaysia as the defeat was so heavy I have never heard my wife or her family talk about politics, but they are now and they want the Junta out 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weegee Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Give me control over the funds for this village...and I bet it gets spent where it's supposed to be spent.... Not spent on pissups, and certain land owened by certain people.... It's not hard, it just needs honesty and thought....which seems to be lacking most times.

The Malaysia model vindicate many opinions that vote buying does not guarantee election victory. This junta make the mistake of overstaying and revealing so much internal corruption, execessive defense spending, intimidation and mismanagement in their 4+ Years that even moderates want them out in the shortest time and election to be held. History will not speak of P favourably. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coulson Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 So this is separate to Thai Nayom? At a time when most agencies are under fire for mismanagement of funds it seems a really bad time to throw money around. The ban on populist policies for future governments won't need to be implemented, there will be nothing left in the kitty to play with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligius Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Shameless vote buying. And they accused Thaksin and Yingluck of paying 500 baht to people to vote for them. What hypocrites! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ban on populist policies for future governments won't need to be implemented, there will be nothing left in the kitty to play with. Probably a top-up to the Thai Niyom Junta Party Electoral Fund. Yes a bad time for the government to be throwing money away on unspecified country projects. But probably a good time for those administering these mini-slush funds. While the PACC is otherwise pre-occupied investigating a multitude of large frauds all over the place there is every chance that embezzlement from these little ones will slip past unnoticed.

And doing bugger all else except encouraging all of the said officers (80% of whom are corrupt imho) to encourage the proles to vote for the military so the largesse can continue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a minimum all fund members should file financial statements before any funds are disbursed and audited quarterly by an outside, independent accounting firm approved by the Office of the SEC such as Grant Thornton, KPMG. http://market.sec.or.th/public/orap/AUDITOR01.aspx?lang=en 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, 300k aint gonna go very far. Taking into the account inflation, Thaksin gave each village a mil way back more than a decade ago.
