“Sorawong” is confident that Budget 67 will pass in the first agenda, expected to be used at the end of April, with the minister explaining a 500,000 million baht loan to carry out the digital wallet project. Even though the decree says we shouldn't continue.
Mr. Sorawong Thienthong, Secretary-General of the Pheu Thai Party Giving an interview before attending the meeting of the House of Representatives To consider the draft budget bill for fiscal year 2024, the third and last day. In the case of the opposition party hijacking the budget of the Ministry of Defence. I personally think that both sides did well. Therefore, information from both the opposition and the government must be combined together. But the problem is that Mr. Suthin Khlangsaeng, Minister of Defense Mentioned is information and some numbers may not match Therefore, we must go back and consider whether the numbers are correct and in accordance with the facts or not, such as in the case of the Bangkok MPs of the Forward Party. Discussion about the army
But for today's first agenda vote Whether the government's voice needs to be emphasized or not, Mr. Sorawong said that the government has not issued anything. Because the voice seems to be going in the same direction, only Mr. Adisorn Piangket, a list MP from the Pheu Thai Party, is sick. However, I personally think that today is just the first vote in the agenda. Therefore, we should cooperate with each other. to pass the parliament before being presented to His Majesty the King and bring further benefits to the people
As for the voting numbers, will they reflect the stability of the government or not? This matter may not be to that extent. But we're tightly sealed together And if you observe the discussion of each person, you will find that There is no protection or mention of the ministries that the party oversees. But it will be an overall discussion. Touch every ministry
As for whether the consideration after the budget committee was appointed would be smooth and whether the Prime Minister had given any instructions, Mr. Sorawong confirmed that there had not been any. But the Prime Minister said to listen and have every team member take note of what the opposition has presented. along with emphasizing that budgeting at the committee level cannot increase the budget. It has only decreased. Therefore, if the budget is reduced, what will be done next? Please wait and see for the next 3 months.
For the case where the opposition debates that they are concerned about loss of assets. This is a matter of the individual. But I am confident that the work of this government is certain. Because in the past we have had lessons. Therefore, it is believed that each MP has the maturity to act within the framework.
In addition, Mr. Sorawong also said that Still don't want to evaluate the opposition's debate score. But it is considered good housework. Because as you know, they only had 9 days to check the numbers because the budget preparation was delayed. We therefore confirm that the discussion will take place on 3-5 January 2024.
However, if the draft Budget Act for 2024 passes in the first session After that, there will be a committee to consider the draft budget bill for fiscal year 2024, totaling 72 people, divided into the Cabinet, 18 opposition MPs, and 54 government MPs. It will likely take about 3 months to consider, which should be discussed. Appointments for various positions were made together on the morning of January 8th, followed by the afternoon of the same day with the first meeting immediately. Therefore, it is expected that the 2024 budget will be used around the end of April or, at the latest, in the beginning of May.
As for the case, the opposition criticized the Prime Minister for initially saying that there would be no borrowing to use in the digital wallet project. But instead, a draft loan bill worth 500,000 million baht was issued to be used to implement this project. Mr. Sorawong said that the minister would be the one to answer the details of the digital wallet project. Because the legislative branch has a duty to investigate. If the government does something incorrectly, we can protest.
As for the part that appears to be taking the Prime Minister's credit in this matter as well, Mr. Sorawong said that what happened may not be what outsiders see. Even though the management team will be the manager if there is a proposal. The Money Loan Act came in as an MP, whether from the opposition or the government. have the right to inspect
Ready to confirm that People have definitely spent money in the digital wallet project. They are confident of that. It is what we have said to the people. and must admit that At this time the world economy is in decline. If we don't have a plan to stimulate the domestic economy, we think it's definitely bad, so we want to help each other. And if the Council of State points out that it should not be continued. But we follow the advice of the Bank of Thailand. As far as I know and have studied, the issuance of the Loan Act To be used for circulation in the system, not borrowed to give away. and the government has issued this policy Because they want to stimulate the circular economy within the country. By using the digital system Don't say it's digital money. Confirm in baht used in digital wallet. When is it used? No cash was withdrawn. The 500 billion baht is definitely still there. This is what the Prime Minister and his management team want to create money circulating within the digital system. The more times it spins, the more taxes come in, and the more revenue the government receives. What you planned and wanted it to be like
