UDON THANI: Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Thursday repeated a pledge to raise the salaries of tambon (subdistrict) officials and upgrade their offices to municipal status, but denied he was campaigning for votes.
Gen Prayut made the comments at a seminar for tambon administrative organisation (TAO) officials at Udon Thani Rajabhat University. He said the salary increases would be for TAO chiefs and deputies as well as the presidents, vice-presidents, councillors and secretaries of tambon councils.
