Pointing out that it is disappointing that the government budget does not meet the workload.

Chaithawat" said it was disappointing. The government prepared a budget that did not meet the workload, tightening control. MPs seized the opportunity to slap money and refused to raise the case of "Thaksin" on the debate stage. Mr. Chaithawat Tulathon, leader of the Kao Klai Party As the leader of the opposition Said before participating in the discussion of the draft Budget Act for fiscal year 2024, with a budget of 3.48 trillion baht, that for the Progressive Party, they are prepared to do their homework. The main issue will be looking at the newly allocated budget. Does it reflect or adhere to the policies that the government has set goals and announced? This budget will reflect the actual political conditions in the establishment of this government. However, giving 7 days to study the contents of the draft bill is considered too little. Therefore, I hope that next time I will give more time to consider. In this regard, there are many parties that view the allocation of the budget as This time the gove rnment's actions do not meet the requirements. Mr. Chaithawat stated that it is considered an obvious problem. It's not just seen in the body. This Budget Act 'We have seen it since the policy announcement. Until the ministry's plans It can be seen that the budget allocation does not reflect the agenda. or government goals This is considered a problem. The opposition will probably use all 3 days to debate and clarify. Criticize in detail,' Mr. Chaithawat said. Mr. Chaithawat said that he personally thinks that the discussion will be beneficial to the government's work. Including the people That will be a part of following up on the new government's budget. For all 3 days, the opposition and the government have shared 20 hours each. 'Actually, the problem probably has many parts. But the estimate It's probably too exaggerated. Meanwhile, setting a budget that is expenses is probably not enough to meet actual expenses. Therefore, this is considered a problem. This has been a continuous problem since the gove rnment of General Prayut Chan-o-cha, causing the new government There must be a burden in allocating the budget back to the treasury. which this issue It will also be a topic of discussion,' Mr. Chaithawat said. Mr. Chaithawat said that the opposition's goals on the first day would explain the picture. That is a big problem. In the second session, details of each ministry will be detailed. and budget receiving units which will check the budget setting Is it effective or worth it? which are the limitations of the council It's the only way to cut the budget. As for whether the issue of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra will be brought up or not, Mr. Chaithawat said that the opposition has not discussed this matter and thinks that the government side may be warming up first. Don't have to worry about anything. But what must be said is The Budget Act does not only reflect problems in policy implementation. But it also reflects the actual political conditions in the establishment of this government. and the matter of Thaks in Not an issue The part that is viewed as this budget arrangement This makes the future of that country impossible to see. Mr. Chaithawat thinks that we hardly see any significant changes. This is a problem even though the government has a resolution. The Cabinet ordered a new budget review from September for 3 months, but it took 3 months which was very disappointing. 'The draft budget I saw, which took three months to rearrange. There has been no change. and does not reflect the goals and policies of the government, which is very disappointing,' Mr. Chaithawat said. As for the collection of money at the committee level, Mr. Chaithawat sees that it is not only a problem of the opposition and the government. But since working in the new future era And in the era of the Progressive Party, it was seen that MPs used budget discussions to slap on assets. Or go and claim the benefits of sharing to squeeze the budget for personal gain Therefore, as the leader of the opposition party Therefore, it must be contro lled not to Opposition MPs themselves do not cause problems. And let the budget considerations really be in line with the goals. It is not a stage for staking money and demanding benefits.-317 Source: Thai News Agency
