BANGKOK (NNT) - The government has prepared a new cash handout scheme for 1 million low-income civil servants, similar to the Rao Chana [We Win] cash handout scheme that offered Bt7,000 to self-employed people.

Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said the Rao Phuk Phan [We Bond Together] campaign aims to help civil servants who have not received any aid from the government. The details of the campaign, such as qualifications of the recipients, and disbursement method, should be finalized soon.

He said the new scheme would use the same Bt210-billion budget that the Cabinet had approved for Rao Chana, adding that the budget will be adequate for both campaigns, as Rao Chana will pay the money in installments with intervals between them, allowing the ministry to manage the cash-flow in time.

The minister added that there is no need for the government to divert budget from other projects to support the Rao Phuk Phan scheme.

What about assistance to the no income unemployed Thai people? I guess they don't matter, only stimulate the economy for those that can qualify which leaves out a large portion of the country.

You guess? I though it was common knowledge!

Is this supposed to mitigate the economic effects of the Covid pandemic? 

I rather though that civil servants continued to receive a salary regardless.

Given what happened to the policemen's extra payments, I don't suppose many will see it anyway.

Yes, but which one?   

                                    

Let the peasants Die another Day without money or food whilst you give the Rice to the Myanmar Military.

 

Help your friends first of course.. the poor common people they have families who can take care of them I guess??? But if the civil servants are not satisfied we can have a problem. So I pay and they shut their mouth

 

Yeh, cause civil servants never get opportunities to make Xtra cash.. LOL
