MPs to receive funds for democracy development
The House has earmarked Bt100,000 per MP to promote democracy and the funds should not be construed as a campaign subsidy to sway votes, Deputy House Speaker Apinan Wiriyachai said on Thursday.
The allocated money will be spent on organising seminars in respective constituencies to raise awareness on democratic principles, he said. There must be at least 200 participants for each seminar held on the topics deemed necessary by each MP, he added.
