Mother of victim demands information on compensation payment

The mother of one of the victims killed in the 2010 bloodshed at Wat Pathum has demanded firm date and clear guidelines for the payment of compensation from the PM's Office.
Phayao Akhad filed a complaint on Wednesday saying the authorities had failed to pay the compensation for her dead daughter Kamolket on May 15 as promised.
“I am very disappointed because the authorities keep shifting the date for the compensation payments,” she said.
Phayao said she wanted to bring the lack of a clear deadline to the attention of PM’s Office secretary general Tongthong Chandransu, who is in charge of compensating the bloodshed victims.
She voiced scepticism that the authorities could meet the new deadline of May 24.
She also said she was calling on the authorities to clarify the guidelines for payments because many family members of the victims were still in the dark on two crucial issues: whether they were entitled to the compensation and when they will get their money.
