Wisanu” believes the government has a source of funds in its policy statement after being accused of not making a complete statement, saying that just mentioning it in one word is considered usable. He believes that the “NESDB-Budget Bureau” should not have made a mistake, indicating that there is no need to make a new policy statement to the parliament.
Mr. Wissanu Krea-ngam, former advisor to Prime Minister and Mr. Settha Thavisin, spoke about the case of an anonymous person who filed a petition to the Ombudsman that the policy statement to the parliament of Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra’s government was not complete according to the law, according to Section 162, because it lacked an explanation of the source of the money. Will the government still be able to govern the country like this? He believes that these things are already in the policy because this matter was raised since the government of General Prayut Chan-o-cha, the former Prime Minister, who explained that there was a source of policy. He coul
d have said just one word or half a line, because the constitution did not say where the money had to come from or how much.
When asked again whether it would be okay to not mention the source of the money at all, Mr. Wisanu said that the National Economic and Social Development Board and the Budget Bureau have been drafting budgets for many years. They already know what to include and how to put it in. It’s just that some people can’t find it.
When asked further whether he could make a new policy statement to parliament if he wanted to save the government, Mr. Wisanu said there was no need to do so.
