Pathum Thani,, The Military Committee transports MPs to a seminar on the role of the military and local government in Pathum Thani. "Wirot" points out that the budget for purchasing weapons may be necessary, questioning why there is resistance. I believe because I don't trust. I would like to use my duties as a committee member to coordinate and compliment the Navy and Air Force. Cooperate well, explaining support for "frigates" with 17 billion baht because they see an opportunity Telling that it is the history of the Thai nation against the warship itself. Disappointed that the Royal Thai Army party did not take it. Instead, he gave a blank check to the Prime Minister. March 10, 2024 at Prim Ploen Restaurant, Pathum Thani Province, Committee (Committee), Military Affairs, House of Representatives. Led by Mr. Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, MP from the Progress Party, as chairman of the committee, organized a seminar on the topic of use of military space. The role of the military and local people in national develop ment To understand with the people about the use of the army's budget, Pol. Lt. Gen. Kamronwit Thupkrajang, President of the Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO), Pathum Thani, as a local representative, and MPs of the Progressive Party also worked together. Mr. Wirot said at the opening ceremony that It is necessary to use the budget to purchase most of the military's equipment. Recently, it is necessary to purchase a gun. But when the public found out, it was like there was a backlash. I don't want you to buy it. Want to reduce the budget 'I also questioned what if the police didn't have guns. So how will the police perform their duties, right or not? So coming back to the army and soldiers, it's the same. I think many things are necessary to buy. But why is it enough to buy something like that today? Why did the people immediately resist?' Mr. Wirot said. Mr. Wirot further said that because the trust between civilians and soldiers today is unstable. Like someone we don't trust The other party wi ll move. People will have a bad view first. Make procurement Things that are necessary for security and the performance of the military's duties have been reduced in efficiency. Therefore, today he said that the role of The most important military committee is to restore trust between the people and the military. and understand each other logically check each other Especially the public sector inspects the military in a reasonable manner. meaningfully It is not reviewed in a biased or hateful manner. Recently everyone was shocked. Because I saw the freegate worth 17 billion baht, I was shocked why the Military Committee didn't object. We also think that if the government and the party that are leading the formation of the government raise their hands The frigate must pass. But it turned out that the Navy had prepared the content in good form. Representatives from far away raised their hands to pass. while the government party cuts the budget for frigates It is believed that this part of the budget will be br ought into the central budget. It is considered a blank check to the Prime Minister. Mr. Wirot stated that he did not encourage the purchase. "I'll go find out if Wirot took medicine and forgot to shake the bottle and come encourage him to buy a frigate." Asked why that was reasonable. Because this frigate will be built in Thailand. It should be the first time that a warship will be built in Thailand. Create employment worth billions of baht It was the first time building a boat with our own hands. And it will reduce the cost of maintaining our time in the long run. And today's frigates are understood to be very few. 'The reasons for supporting Frigate It's not a submarine because a submarine is a way to benefit them from money. Without getting any benefit back The government says it is afraid of not having enough budget. But the problem is that they are written off and put into the central budget. OK, can we trust the Minister of Defense's lies? And he can't claim he doesn't know,' Mr. Wirot said. Mr. Wir ot said that when he spoke, he became even more resentful. If there was a can, he would kick the can and show it. The dream of Thailand being a shipbuilding center is over. And the Prime Minister once said that purchasing military equipment was completely okay. If there is a connection with economic development 'Unnecessary things We won't pay even a single baht. But if it's necessary and beneficial Even if it's ten billion Hundreds of billions must be paid I have to find and pay. You have to borrow to buy, borrow to invest. It's not about how much or how little money. Is it necessary and beneficial to the people? So don't think about ten billion. Why do you say it's cheap? 9-10 years ago, we bought a frigate. which has now been given the name HTMS Bhumibol Adulyadej On that day, the purchase amount was 15 billion baht. If you buy it today There is no way to buy it at this price. Except for myself,' Mr. Wirot said. Mr. Wirot further said that people will be able to trust the army only if it is transparent. Information is openly disclosed to the public. accept criticism and explain and respond in a way that understands the people But if the public's eyes and ears are closed, how will trust be built? 'Today we have to thank two agencies: the Navy and the Air Force. Today, cooperation with the committee is very good. As for the Army Commander, he is building relationships to create more trust. I understand that the army's communication with the public is sometimes limited, but if trust is built then The committee helps in public relations and tells the story to the public sector. It is believed that there will already be criticism, but if there is more communication, it will create the most trust. This does not mean that we always agree. But it means being transparent and verifiable,' Mr. Wirot said. Mr. Wirot stated that in the golf course land of the Royal Thai Air Force He thinks that the most important thing is whether or not it will be transferred to the local government. If it can be transferred to the loc al government It will be the most noble. will be the best But if the army continues It must be clarified how much will be allocated to military officers. Be transparent How much is paid into the state? Can it be opened for the public to use at a fair price? But if it's best, it must be transferred to the local government and let them manage it themselves. While Pol. Lt. Gen. Kamronwit said that he was very willing to attend the event. Because it is considered beneficial to all Pathum Thani brothers and sisters. Confirm that if it were assumed to be as Mr. Wirot said. It was considered that he wanted a stadium. And we're ready. Because in the past year, we plugged the holes in corruption. He wants to see development. It is believed that it depends on the method of discussion. In addition, Pathum Thani Province It is considered that there is still no stadium that belongs to the province. It is considered that no less than 500,000 people in Pathum Thani will benefit from this section. He wanted to make it a sp orts center for exercising for the people. It is the lungs of the people. Fellow citizens, why do we have to risk accidents outside, such as cycling? These things he confirms that the Provincial Administrative Organization is ready and has set a binding budget and is waiting. Source: Thai News Agency
