The plan calls for 200 new uniforms to be procured at 5,000 baht apiece by December, which requires a budget of at least 2 million baht. Parliament President Chuan Leekpai approved the plan to “improve the uniforms of Parliament police to suit the present time” on June 12, according to a source. The uniform upgrade covers shirts, pants, skirts, buttons, hats and insignia. However, some have questioned whether the change is necessary at a time when government budget is already stretched to the limit amid rising inflation.
