In his latest trip, Gen Prayut Pran-o-cha visited Kalasin yesterday and approved more than 1.7 billion baht for developments covering water tunnels, roads and the purchase of silk looms. "Lifting the ban will take place only when the appropriate time has come," Gen Prayut told Kalasin residents yesterday. Gen Prayut called on people to listen carefully to politicians when they campaign. The organic law on political parties will be amended if needs be to ensure fair play for parties seeking to contest the election, he said. Those that fail to meet these requirements will lose the right to field candidates and receive subsidies from the political party fund.
