Korn questions Bt2tn loan bill

Democrat Party deputy leader Korn Chatikavanij Thursday expressed serious concerns about the Bt2-trillion infrastructure borrowing bill proposed by the Yingluck Shinawatra government as it might violate the Constitution, which stipulates that any government expenditure should be allocated only through the fiscal expenditure budget bill.

Speaking on the "Business Talk" programme on Krungthep Turakij TV, he said if the borrowing would be more transparent, Parliament would be able to systematically evaluate the details of the infrastructure projects proposed by the government.

The government also needed to declare to Parliament what they would do about the projects.
