No good projects scrapped : CDRM
Viable policies introduced under the ousted Thaksin Shinawatra government will not be scrapped, military rulers said Monday.
Rumours that programmes like the Bt30 universal health care scheme would be abolished were false, a spokesperson for the Council for Democratic Reform under the Constitutional Monarchy (CDRM) said.
Yongyuth Maiyalarb told the public to reject unconfirmed reports and trust only CDRM announcements.
A hotline at 02 2802360 had been established for public inquiries, suggestions for social problems and tips on corruption.
He also dismissed rumours the CDRM was planning to scrap two other Thaksin projects - the National Fund for Villages and Urban Communities and the Small, Medium and Large Fund.
Speaking at the same press con¬ference at Army headquarters Monday, CDRM spokesman Lt General Palangkoon Klaharn called on the news media and pub¬lic to follow only announcements read by himself, Yongyuth and spokeswoman Major Duangkamol Thewaphithak.
Palangkoon repeated the CDRM statement it would remain in power for one more week only before handing all administrative authority to a civilian interim prime minister and government agencies.
