Bhoomtham” is not afraid to debate the 2024 budget because it is a continuation of work from the previous government. Ask the opposition party not to create drama and debate in hopes of discrediting the government. Point out that it may benefit the person who does it. But it is not beneficial to the country.
Mr. Phumtham Wechayachai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce Speaking before entering the House of Representatives meeting in the draft discussion Budget Expenditure Act for fiscal year 2024 that in the past the government came to work It is considered a budget. that had already been prepared under the previous government The new government has to adjust accordingly and has only 3 months to adjust part of the budget and must go to work ordering solutions to the problems that the previous government has left behind. which has prepared a structure for implementing the policies that have been campaigned for The budget of the Ministry of Finance tries to make it possible. This government has mai
nly followed the strategy that was laid out. especially solving the problem of poverty among the people And in each part, it lays the foundation for preparing to solve problems.
Mr. Phumtham said today is considered a good opportunity for the opposition to investigate. in order to offer opinions And the audit may see whether the budget is appropriate or not. In fact, the government has not done anything yet. Today we have prepared. is to come and listen from every part including debaters from the opposition This will be useful for us to consider for further action. Which is probably nothing. But I want you to help consider it. and allow the budget to be used to solve problems as quickly as possible. Because it’s almost been a year since we came in. The past time was a problem for the old government. Therefore, we would like to help each other in order to carry out the work successfully. Especially in solving the crisis. In fact, the work of this government will be able to work more, that is, in the 2025 budg
et, because it will be able to be laid out entirely from this government.
‘In summary, today there was no special preparation to deal with anything regarding the 2024 budget debate, only opposition MPs who were interested in which issues? Which ministry has the right to ask questions? This is in part because the government is willing to answer all questions. But please help me think. In order to use the budget as quickly as possible in order to solve the problem. Citizens as much as possible This discussion is for the opposition to consider. Because we are in the eyes of all the citizens who are paying attention. Then you will be able to see the budget in a 3-day discussion frame. Don’t let it be a platform for debate. Or creating various dramas to make it happen. Because it may be beneficial for people who do it. But it is not beneficial to the country,’ Mr. Phumtham said.
The government has delayed submitting the budget. Which was only 1 week before entering the meeting agenda. Mr. Phumtham stated that he
could think like that. But the reality is that the government has come in and already has a full budget. And I only have a few months to do it. When I’m done, I want the budget to come out quickly. He hurriedly sent it to me.
‘I believe that the opposition in the modern era has good tools. have a computer There are various applications To go see It can be done in time, not in time. which expresses opinions We will listen to everything. Confirm that we made it in time. Don’t just say it’s a difficult time. Because there are reasons to support what the government is doing. Don’t turn it into drama. Let’s destroy the government’s credit again. Personally, I have been following and listening in the morning. Said time is running short which must be admitted that the period is very short Part of it comes from the previous government. which this government brought to improve Such opinions or criticisms I’m happy to listen to everything.” Mr. Phumtham Said.
