Deputy permanent secretary for Justice to spend three nights with Chaeng Wattana demonstrators

 

 

Deputy Permanent Secretary for Justice Ministry Thawatchai Thaikhiew has agreed to spend three nights with demonstrators at the Chaeng Wattana rally site in exchange for the protesters' allowing Justice Ministry officials to return to work.

 

Thawatchai said he had reported his decision to Justice Minister Chaikasem Nitisiri and Kittipong Kityarak, permanent secretary for Justice, and they thanked him for sacrificing himself.

 

Having Thawatchai stay overnight with the protesters for three nights was a condition set by Phra Phuttha Isara, the monk who is in charge of the rally site at Chaeng Wattana.

 

He said he decided to accept the condition so that services of the Probation Department and Rights and Liberty Protection Department could be resumed to help people in trouble.

Retired and present senior finance officials join anti-government protest

 

 

Over 200 retired senior and present finance officials have joined the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) to protest the caretaker government openly after keeping a low profile for months.

 

The defiant retired and present officials came out publicly to protest the caretaker prime minister after several top ranking retired public health and commerce officials openly declared their stance against the caretaker government.

 

Those showing themselves on the PDRC stage at Pathumwan intersection alongside the PDRC leader Suthep Thaugsuban included the former finance ministry’s deputy permanent secretary Chavalit Sethemethikul, and former director-generals of the Treasury Department, Fiscal Policy Office, Customs Department and the ministry’s economic advisors.

 

They voiced opposition to the Finance Ministry’s 130 billion baht loan to pay rice farmers under its failed rice-pledging scheme by using the funds from its reserve set aside under the 2 trillion baht infrastructure scheme.

 

They said such transfer of fund from infrastructure projects to finance the rice scheme was illegal and a gross breach of fiscal discipline.

 

Furthermore, the additional 130 billion baht funding the government sought also has exceeded the 500 billion baht ceiling approved in June last year by the cabinet to finance the 2013/2014 main crop pledging scheme.

 

Seeking additional fund to finance the 2013/2014 main crop is therefore illegal, they said.

 

Earlier many retired top commercial officials also joined the PDRC and called on commercial officials to resort to civil disobedience against the caretaker government.
