Deputy Minister of Interior Boonjong Wongtrairat on Wednesday said he is ready to be probed by all organisations after he was accused of giving money worth 100,000 baht and his name cards to villagers in the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima.

According to Mr Boonjong, he did nothing wrong, adding that he will continue to perform for the benefits of the country and its people.

As a deputy minister of interior, he has a duty to look after people's well-being and it is also usual for him to give out his name cards with his phone number to the public,  he said.

The deputy minister then accused certain newspapers for publishing distorted news about him and said thousands of public members can be his witnesses.

"It is not important where the money comes from since it is people's tax money, and many procedures and documents need to be considered before distributing money to the villagers," said Mr Boonjong.

He added that he already talked about the case with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, and he is ready to accept the investigation result.

  Please don't forget that Thaksin was pronounced guilty of abused of power, conflict of interest because he attached his name card to his wife's land documents.
  
  Samak was guilty because he loves cooking and used his leisure time to demonstrate cooking.

  There are 4 of us living in the outskirts of Korat. (3 Children my wife brought into our marriage from a policeman she was married to, wo does not pay on single Baht for the care of his offspring. It's not Tam-Niam he says)
  
  To the point- Some months we are very very worried how we can finish the month as my pension is rather small.
  Yet - I 've never seen anybody come around to give money or food to our family Not Boobjong nor Thaksin nor anybody.
  
  I can not vote in this beautyful country, will never be allowed to. Could this be the reason
  why nobody thinks we're worthy to reveive a little help
  
  Half Thai- half Farang
