Hold your neck, don’t let the NACC’s comments become a way to bring down digital wallets.

Parliament, "Sirikanya" ensnares the government. Don't use the NACC's comments as a way to bring down digital wallets. Suggests reviewing and finding a solution - reducing the size of the project - using the 2025 central budget to continue, pointing out that the original conditions are at risk of being locked in km. Ms. Sirikanya Tansakul, list MP and deputy leader of the Progressive Party Mentioning the case of the publication of documents by the National Anti-Corruption Commission or NACC regarding the digital wallet project, he said that he had read it according to the news. that there are reports of This issue of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has been issued. Which I think is advice that the government might listen to. But it is not necessary to follow. Matters of policy implementation It is the direct responsibility of the government. Therefore, it is not necessary to comply with and is not required by law. And he asked that independent organizations act according to their own framewor k. 'From what I have read, I do not think that it is the duty of the NACC. But if you think it's a useful comment, the government should listen to it. But it should not be taken as a reference point that if we do not create a digital money wallet project, the NACC or the Royal Decree has such an opinion. I want the government to show full responsibility. If the digital money project cannot continue You don't have to put your back on independent organizations,' Ms. Sirikanya said. An overview of the report that came out. Risks have been identified in many areas. Ms. Sirikanya said that the NACC said there was no crisis, which there was a report referring to a crisis from the World Bank, but in fact the country's situation had not yet reached that stage. Even one point As for whether it will reinforce what was previously said or not. Ms. Sirikanya said that if the opposition spoke, the weight might seem small. You may think that we are hidden in politics. Many of the matters listed in the NACC report are mat ters that have already been discussed. But even if we agree 'But this does not mean that the government needs to use this NACC report as a backstop. I want the government to take full responsibility for this matter. Why can't we continue?' Ms. Sirikanya said. However, if there is a review of the exit method Loan Act and changed to the mid-year budget of 2025 to continue this project. Are there still any visible problems? Ms. Sirikanya said no, which is one of the most likely ways is to switch to the 2025 budget, but the 2025 budget will be the same as the 2024 budget, meaning there is no room left to put in a project size 500,000 million baht. into If we still haven't finished fixing the budget structure. But if the size of the project is reduced to a smaller size Enough to stuff it into 2025 would be the safest thing that could be done. As for whether or not it can be said that the government's safest way is to is to end the project Miss Sirikanya said that she personally thinks there is an opportunity to do it. That is, the size may be reduced to a smaller size. and use possible legal approaches first, or another method may be to amend the Fiscal Policy Act. In the case where the government wants to borrow money, there is no need for a crisis, something like this etc. The government already has a majority in parliament. As for if the government continues to move forward with the project using the same conditions, what will be the effect? Miss Sirikanya thinks that it will definitely have an effect because everyone knows that it will be legally locked. He was not sure what this would lead to. 'There may be people going to petition the Constitutional Court, but we don't want that to happen. Because of the people who will go through the fire together. Not just the government But it is Parliament that must also vote on risky laws. Including various civil servants who must participate, from the policy committee to the policy committee. must also be pulled into this body Therefore, I want you to think carefully a nd find a good solution to this project,' Ms. Sirikanya said. However, if the government The NACC's opinion may be used as an excuse. To terminate the project or not? Miss Sirikanya said that it might be like that. Otherwise, why must there be a postponement? Digital Wallet Policy Committee Meeting Yesterday (January 16) went out despite the opinion of The NACC is the opinion of the NACC. If we think that we can consider it among ourselves. There is no need to use the opinion of the NACC. You can do the same. Asked if you must listen, you should listen. But it is not a turning point or an important condition. Whether this project will continue or not will continue with the NACC's opinion. Many parties are concerned that if they do not listen to the opinions of The National Anti-Corruption Commission may repeat the same pattern. It is a rice pledging project. that there are still people in prison Ms. Sirikanya said that this case cannot be compared with the rice pledging project. But if we compare Let's comp are with the case. The 2 trillion baht loan act was finalized even though the Constitutional Court said it was illegal. But no one has been affected by any legal issues. Except for the person who inserted the card instead. As for how the opposition will make recommendations to the government? Ms. Sirikanya said she wanted the government to remain calm. Review this project carefully for once. What are the chances that this is possible? At the time of the election campaign, there was no state power yet. There are still no limbs that are civil servants. You may not yet be able to figure out how to do it, but today there are civil servants waiting to act as your arms and legs. I'm helping you think. I want you to stay still and think first about how you can move forward. Ready to agree that the economy is not good and has low growth. which may not reach a critical level But there are problems that must be solved in the short term and the structure must be fixed in the long term. 'Any matters that need to be sta rted immediately can be done now. Don't just wait for digital. Because I don't know when I'll be able to do it. Because if there is a real crisis, we cannot wait, and even today there is no crisis yet. Can't wait any longer either. that the government must do something to make the economy better and Having to wait until May may be too late. Plus you still have to wait and see if you'll get it or not. But it must be done with the current budget. We have to come up with a project to make the people feel that shopping and spending things are more flexible,' Ms. Sirikanya said. Said.-\ Source: Thai News Agency
