PM's Office Minister Varathep Ratanakorn is assigned to accumulate information related to the rice-pledging scheme from all government agencies, in the government's move to clarify confusing figures.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said on Monday that there is no a single set of information regarding to the loss incurred by the rice-pledging scheme, as each government agency holds its own set of information.
"I insist that the conflicting figures are sending no negative impact on the government. All the figures are there, but they need to be processed for mutual understanding. The Commerce Ministry is in charge of releasing stockpiles, while the Finance Ministry is in charge of financing. There is noone to compile the information," she said.
