Pheu Thai defends govt roadshow

 

 

He attacked the Democrat Party's criticism that the roadshow is to tell the public half the truth.

He noted that the roadshow, kicking off in Nong Khai, has drawn immense public interest and the government intends to tell all details of the investment. He rebutted that when the Democrat-led government launched Thai Khemhaeng scheme, a PR scheme - involving a scheme to have residents in 76 provinces sing the national antheme - also cost as much as Bt60 million.

He also dared former prime minister and Domocrat advisor Chuan Leekpai to file a petition to the corruption agency, police or any agency, should Chuan have evidence that politicians receive a fee in having the roadshow organised. 

Chuan said the fee accounts for 25 per cent of the roadshow cost.
