Sirikanya", People's MP, encourages "Paethongtarn", hoping to honor the House of Representatives by explaining the opposition's questions, waiting to keep an eye on the government moving forward with digital wallet, pointing out that the opposition is still scrutinizing as usual. Ms. Sirikanya Tansakul, MP for the Prachachon Party, said about the policy preparation of Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra's government that the opposition is waiting for the policy statement to be studied and criticized again. This is the second time this government has made a policy statement. We must continue to follow up on both the fulfillment of promises made during the campaign on various issues and the inspection of the government's past performance, including proposing solutions that are appropriate for the current situation. Of course, the policy that was campaigned on is the digital wallet. There are currently quite a few rumors that it will change in various forms. However, we must wait to hear the policy statement and detai ls from the cabinet again after the oath-taking ceremony. The new government should prepare this matter to present to the House of Representatives. If the format is changed in the end, such as from distributing digital money to distributing cash, what will be the impact? Ms. Sirikanya said that she believes that if any changes occur, it is to make the project more thorough and in accordance with the fiscal discipline law. We will have to keep an eye on the format again. If the payment is in cash, it may be more in line with the needs and behaviors of the people. It may reduce criticism from the people. However, we also have to look at the source of the money. If it is in cash, how much will be distributed? Because it is related to many matters. The government has not yet made a clear statement because there is no cabinet, no policy statement, and it has not been submitted for consideration by the cabinet. We will have to give the government time to prepare. In this regard, when the government changes, how w ill it affect the opposition's work in scrutiny? Ms. Sirikanya said that the opposition's work has not changed. Scrutiny is still as intensive as before. However, for the no-confidence debate, it must be admitted that the Prime Minister has just come in, so there may still be issues for a no-confidence debate. However, for the cabinet, which may be people from the previous government, we can debate to our fullest. Therefore, we must wait to collect information before submitting a no-confidence debate in the next step. As for the news that the Democrat Party might join the Pheu Thai Party government this time, might this time the opposition's work be isolated? Ms. Sirikanya said that it probably won't be like that and we still expect that the opposition parties will remain as strong as before. But whatever happens, we have to wait and see the direction. Even though one party is missing, the rest should still be there. We will still be able to work strongly, no matter how many opposition parties there are over all. When asked if the change of prime minister would cause the ministers in the Ministry of Finance to change as there were rumors that Mr. Chulaphan Amornvivat, Deputy Minister of Finance, would become Minister of Finance, Ms. Sirikanya said that there would probably be a change of ministers according to the policy that the government would have to implement to suit the workload, which would depend on the new policy to be announced to the parliament, whether the Ministry of Finance would be the main one to drive the policies and measures or whether other ministers would be used. Ms. Sirikanya also admitted that the change of personnel may affect the implementation of the digital wallet project, but it will not be disrupted if there is a change because the implementation has been going on for some time. Changing the team may cause some delays, but it will not affect the overall picture. If there is any change, it will be in the executive committee or the cabinet more than anything that will cause the digit al wallet project to stall or change. Ms. Sirikanya also left a message to Ms. Paethongtarn, the Prime Minister, that the new Prime Minister has come into office during a difficult time, both economically, politically, and socially, which is a heavy duty to lead the Cabinet and the country to progressive development. The opposition would like to give encouragement and we must do our best to fulfill each other's roles and cooperate in areas where we agree, such as enacting laws or amending the constitution. As for checks and balances, the opposition will do its best and expects that the new Prime Minister will respect the House of Representatives, who will come to the parliament frequently to answer the opposition's live questions. However, she does not want to judge Ms. Paethongtarn based on her vision for the Prime Minister because there will be many opportunities for the Prime Minister to present his vision after taking the oath of office or giving a policy statement to the parliament. She wants to see it for a long time and does not want to judge based on just one speech. Source: Thai News Agency
