“Phao Bhum” points out that the Prime Minister does not govern the country with polls.

Government House, "Phao Bhum" insists that the poll on the retirement lottery will not cause the project to falter, pointing out that the Prime Minister does not govern the country with polls, but with the law, explaining the timeline waiting to enter the cabinet. Mr. Paopum Rojanasakul, Deputy Minister of Finance, gave an interview about the case of Nida Poll stating that most people do not agree with the retirement lottery. He said that the poll's topic, 'If you want to save money, buy a retirement lottery,' must be reviewed. He thought that it created a discrepancy and negative attitudes. The topic is important for the people's responses to the poll, and our target group is 1,200 people who will decide on the policy that will affect 20 million people. It must be considered. As for the poll results, it is our duty to listen, but he insisted that it will not affect the overall implementation of the project because the government does not govern the country through polls, but through principles, correctness , and the interests of the people. The poll has the duty to help refine the conditions, but it does not affect the principles and implementation of the project. As for when this project will move forward, Mr. Pao Bhumi said that the matter is with the Cabinet to include it in the agenda. At present, the opinions are not complete. We have to wait for opinions from various agencies. It is a normal process that must be listened to because it involves the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Interior. At first, it was expected to be received by tomorrow (July 9), but it was not in time, so it was requested to be next week. And after the Cabinet approves the principle, there will be a resolution ordering the National Savings Fund (NSF) to amend the NSF Act, as follows: Source: Thai News Agency
