Rangsiman hits back at allegation over aides’ pay cuts

11 Sept 02:27 Key points summarised by AI

People’s Party deputy leader Rangsiman Rome vehemently denied allegations that the party forced its MP assistants to use their monthly pay to fund new member registration fees.
Rangsiman's rebuttal directly addressed an online claim made by Kla Tham MP Pai Link, asserting the party has never coerced or ordered such actions.
He suggested Pai Link's accusation might be a strategic attempt to divert public attention from his prior claim linking Kla Tham Party leader Thammanat Prompao to an online scam network.
The allegation surfaces amidst an ongoing social media exchange between Pai Link and People’s Party MP Rukchanok Srinork concerning alleged corruption in the National Sports Development Fund for the SEA Games.
