Govt issues ultimatum on Village Fund projects

Prime Minister’s Office Minister Suwaphan Tanyuvardhana warned Saturday that projects using the newly approved Bt35-billion Village Fund budget did not succeed in six months, the government would take the money back.

Suwaphan also told some 200 representatives of a Village Fund network at a workshop in Bangkok that projects carried out under the scheme must be transparent and must involve the participation of local residents and be accepted by them.
