Cabinet nod for use of Bt150bn budget for provincial development

The Cabinet on Tuesday approved the use of an accumulated Local Administration Department budget of Bt150 billion for the development of provinces across the country. 

The Cabinet also ordered the Interior and Finance ministries to collaborate in ensuring that use of the budget was transparent, Interior Minister General Anupong Paochinda said after the mobile meeting in Songkhla.
The Bt150 billion approved for provincial development is roughly half of the overall accumulated Local Administration Department budget of Bt318.34 billion, he said.
The amount will be used for the direct development of the provinces, and forms a key part of the government’s efforts to boost provincial economic growth, the minister added.
