Bangkok governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra Friday inaugurated his second term by instructing city officials to work on 10 priorities.
The priorities include the installation of 20,000 security cameras, the community volunteer programme to fight crime and illicit drugs and the reduction of fares on two BTS extension routes to Bt10.
Other urgent tasks are the reduction of interest charges in city-run pawn shops, the enhancement of job skills, including free training in foreign languages, the pay hike for city workers in day care centres and 5,000 free wifi spots.
In his meeting with top city officials, Sukhumbhand thanked them for their hard work in organising the gubernatorial race.
“The 1.2 million votes are my mandate and a sign of the expectations in myself and the Democrat Party to get the job done,” he said.
He promised to unveil his administration team, including his deputies, by Monday.
Today he is expected to inspect firefighting readiness in the capital’s eastern districts of Nong Chok and Lat Krabang.
