Citing a document from the PM’s Office, Democrat Bangkok MP Vilas Chanpitaksa has called into question spending of a Bt340million budget approved for police and military operations to provide security during the anti-government Pitak Siam group’s rally in November last year.
The police were allocated Bt335 million, the Army Bt600,000, the Navy and Air Force Bt48,000 each, and the Internal Security Operations Command Bt3.5 million, the MP said.
“I really have doubts about the sixth item, which is Bt200 million compensation that the Royal Thai Police transferred for a ‘secret mission’ to conduct intelligence work.
