Bt8 bn sought for remedial measures

The Justice Ministry will ask for an Bt8-billion budget for remedial measures for those affected by political riots and the unrest in the South, Justice Minister Pracha Promnok said yesterday.

Pracha also said the ministry would set up a committee for compensation and rehabilitation for those affected by political riots since 1997 and another committee for those affected by the Southern unrest. He noted that the government had clearly announced such remedies as policy to Parliament.
