campaign promises.
With a little over a week to go before the national
elections, Chonburi’s Chart Thai Party MP candidates Sansak Ngarmphiches
and Charnsak Chavalitinititham have hit the campaign trail.
Last week the two candidates took their rhetoric out to meet the common
folks gathered in market places in their constituency. Amongst the fresh
food markets and burning charcoal stoves, citizens could see the two
candidates wading into the frenzy of real life to woo votes.
The two potential statesmen took turns on an improvised stage to state
their policies. Both began by saying they were proud of their parties
gains for Chonburi and would continue in the same fashion. They also
said they would make Chonburi an important place by the end of 1997, and
would do so within a budget of 10,000 million baht. They then outlined
their plans to achieve this goal:
• Shorten the second stage of the expansion of Beach Road (Road 4) from
10 years to 5 years.
• Start the Chonburi-Phanat Nikom 4 lane highway by about 1997 with a
budget of 950 million baht.
• Begin the 53 kilometre Chonburi Pattaya Highway sometime in 1997 with
a budget of 3,100 million baht.
• Provide electric lighting for the motorways between Chonburi and
Sattahip.
• Build Beach Road from Ang-Sila to Khlong Damru. This project already
surveyed, planned and budgeted.
• Make improvements to public hospitals and build 18 more public health
centres.
• Build a vocational school at Phanthong in 1997, making it the 3rd
vocational school in Chonburi.
• Build a sports centre in Banglamung with a budget of 1,400 million
baht.
• Build a reservoir to catch water from Khlong Luang from Sattahip to
Phanat Nikom. The budget for agriculture is 3,716.63 million baht.
• Improve public utilities, and improve the connection of water mains
between districts, within a budget of 1,000 million baht.
The two candidates concluded by saying that there are many other
projects in the works that will make Chonburi a model province for its
people, then handed out flyers summing up these policies.
