Check on who gave out Yingluck calendars

Check on who gave out Yingluck calendars

ROI ET Governor Anusorn Kaewkangwan yesterday confirmed that his office was looking into the distribution of calendars adorned with photos of the |former premiers Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra during the New Year festival.

Anusorn’s order follows the distribution of 200 calendars by a political party coordinator. The calendars were given away before a local administrators’ conference in Chiang Khwan district last Wednesday. 
The examination was ordered for 20 districts in the province, as it was viewed as inappropriate for authorities to provide free calendars symbolising any political party. 
Local authorities must examine and open presents they receive and not distribute them to people. They must return inappropriate gifts to the people who originally provided them. 
The order prohibits further distribution of the calendars, but not keeping the ones already passed out.
The calendars could also be given during any other time of the year without problems, he said.
Anusorn Iamsa-ard, acting deputy spokesman for the Pheu Thai Party, said the authorities were overly scared and the calendar distribution simply aimed to wish peoplewish people well.
