Invite the additional budget committee for 2024 to provide incomplete information.

Parliament, The opposition whip revealed that the additional budget committee for 2024, which is part of the opposition, was invited to provide incomplete information, confirming that the opposition could not approve the additional budget draft. Mr. Pakornwut Udompipatsakul, Chairman of the Coordinating Committee of the Opposition Parties, said that today's opposition whip meeting invited people who are members of the opposition party's special committee on the draft of the additional budget bill for fiscal year 2024 to provide information on what was discussed in the meeting and what was not complete, because the report received only stated who reserved what in this section. From the report sent back, the Move Forward Party has 7 people who reserved their opinions, which will be discussed in the reasons. As for the 25 amendments, most of them are MPs from the opposition parties. It is believed that there will be a wide discussion on the budget to be used and the purpose of the use. When asked whether the opposition would approve the bill overall, the chief opposition whip said that he thought it would have to go back to the principles. When welcoming the principles, if the opposition parties could not accept the principles of this draft bill, and the draft that the committee sent back did not have any amendments, then we could not approve this draft bill.
