Her assurance was given as she visited her elder sister Yaowapha Wongsawat in Chiang Mai to wish her a happy birthday today.
Asked by reporters about the first hearing of the rice-pledging scheme in the Supreme Court next week, Yingluck said she would testify herself in the court to prove her innocence.
When asked about the decision of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC)to indict her for malfeasance in office over her allegedly biased allocation of financial compensation to victims of political violence between 2005 and 2010, she declined comment.
The Bangkok Post today quoted the NACC as saying yesterday there are grounds to bring charges against Ms Yingluck relating to improper disbursement of compensation to red-shirt protesters and supporters.
Ms Yingluck, along with 33 former members of her cabinet, are accused by the NACC of misconduct and abuse of power in the payment of compensation to families of victims of political unrest, according to NACC commissioner and spokesman Vicha Mahakun, the Post reported.
B2 billion of state funds were spent on compensation for protesters and families of protesters who died or were wounded during political demonstrations from 2005 to 2010.
Mr Vicha said there was no law to support the compensation disbursement approved by Ms Yingluck’s cabinet.
“Ms Yingluck and her government abused their authority and used the national budget to further their political aims,” Mr Vicha said.
On the other side of the political spectrum, the NACC also decided there were grounds to charge Democrat former deputy PM Suthep Thaugsuban over alleged irregularities in police station construction projects.

In a third case, the NACC said there was evidence that former ICT minister Chuti Krairiksh, also a Democrat, abused his authority in telecoms deals.
