TRT brands PM's Office Minister a "crook"

A core leader of the Thai Rak Thai group, Kuthep Saikrachang, has accused Minister to the Prime Minister’s Office Thirapat Serirangsan of making false accusations when he said a former Buri Ram MP had been giving voters 200 baht each to vote against the draft charter.

“Why would we do anything like that? Why would we randomly pay people in some areas to vote against the draft charter when the decision is made based on results nationwide?â€

I’ll tell my partner about this when I call her later tonight as she is up in Buriram at the moment; she will be impressed as in the past she used to get 100 bt to vote for something and now you get 200 for voting against!
