Returning to opposition form, "Jurin" slams Budget 2024 as a lame duck version, saying he and Indonesia did it all. Points out that it was a waste of time to set up a government of a dear friend who has cut corners and cut corners, delaying the budget. The parliament protested chaotically. Discussion of the Department of Corrections budget Srithanonchai issued a regulation asking whether the government would release prisoners to Thip Prison or not. Mr. Jurin Laksanawisit, list of MPs, Democrat Party Discussing the draft budget bill for the fiscal year 2024, continuing as the second person as the opposition, that although it is not a debate of no confidence But the 2024 budget is an important piece of legislation. If the government's proposal is not approved by the House of Representatives The government must take responsibility by resigning or dissolving parliament. But I believe that it is the duty of the government to mobilize All MPs from the coalition government came to vote. and believe that this law w ill be approved in the first agenda Because this government has an absolute majority of 314 votes, if it doesn't pass, the Prime Minister will probably have to stop wearing socks. Mr. Jurin said that everything the Prime Minister announced this morning was good. But he would like to debate in order to perform the duty of the opposition in checking, balancing and expressing opinions and discussions in general. This budget is the first budget of this government. It was caused by taking the 2024 budget that General Prayut Chan-o-cha's government had made and completely redoing it. 'As a result, the budget calendar was delayed for more than 9 months because they were too busy setting up a government that was like a close friend who cut corners. As a result, the budget will be delayed like the "lame duck" budget. There is only 5 months out of 12 months to use the money, or only 40% of the money will be used. The efficiency in using the money has decreased. Especially the investment budget which is an important f actor in stimulating the economy,' Mr. Jurin said. Mr. Jurin said that the Prime Minister Trying to pretend that there is an economic crisis. and trying to move forward with stimulating the economy But at the same time If the national budget becomes a lame duck, how can it stimulate the economy to meet the target? After the Prime Minister returned to review the '67 budget, he saw that there was nothing new. Many things are worse than before. 'Issue 1: The deficit is the same. And there will continue to be a deficit throughout the full 4-year life of the government. He did not imagine it himself. But because it is in the fiscal plan of this government that the Cabinet has resolved to maintain a budget deficit until the end of the government. Issue 2: This government's budget has increased. But the proportion of investment to stimulate the economy is less than before, from 21.7% to 20.6%, and it is found that the money in 2024 increased by approximately 295,000 million baht to increase in the regular budget. So how can it be used to stimulate the economy? Issue 3: The central budget looks like it has decreased on the surface. But it is an illusory budget because the overall central budget in 2023 was 18.5%, but in 2024 it was reduced to 17% when looking at the contents of the important budget. It is the reserve money that is under the power of the Prime Minister. returned to increase, thus indicating that "But Khao Inao did it all." Therefore, we ask the Prime Minister to use this money to be worthwhile, transparent, and budget from thinking big to doing. It has become thinking about borrowing, doing borrowing. Issue number 4, this budget has changed from "thinking big and doing it" to "thinking about borrowing, doing borrowing" because General Prayut's previous budget for 2024 borrowed 593 billion baht and this government has used it to dismantle and borrow again. 693 billion baht and responded that They used to criticize you for being borrowers, but this time you are. Pink sock borrower who borrowed more than 1 00 billion baht,' said Mr. Jurin. Mr. Jurin also discussed that The Prime Minister said that he would not borrow money to use in the 10,000 baht digital money project, but made a 360-degree U-turn in borrowing money to distribute in response to his campaign policy. Therefore, this is a sound that people throughout the country are concerned about. The government is afraid that If it becomes a law, I fear that it will break the law. So he went to ask the decree but he still hasn't responded. If the decree says it can't be done, Illegal or risky Please don't blame the decree. Because the decree is not the owner of the campaign policy. Meanwhile, Mr. Jurin confirmed that the Prime Minister The 500,000 million baht loan debt cannot be used in the digital money project within 4 years, but this is just political discourse. Ready to ask the Prime Minister to complete his term and pay off his 4-year debt so that there will be no rumors that there are two Prime Ministers. As for amending the constitution, Mr. Jurin stated that he agreed that the government should do politics along with solving the economic problems of the people. It cannot be separated immediately. and agree with the constitutional amendment that does not touch section 1 and section 2 'I would like to support the government's announcement of a policy to amend the constitution as an urgent policy. But it appears that in reality it turned out to be a different movie. Because as soon as he entered the Cabinet, it turned into setting up a study committee instead. From urgent, it became 4 years, from a short film to a long film. However, the referendum must be done at least 3 times, so where is the budget? No matter how much it was set, I couldn't find it, so please reflect my sincerity here," Mr. Jurin said. Mr. Jurin also discussed the budget of the Ministry of Justice and the Department of Corrections. that the Department of Corrections has a budget of 14,972 billion baht, which this budget is used for the most important projects The prisoner project is supervised. The project period is 6 years, from 2022 to 2027, using a total budget of 38,979 million baht, only the budget for 2024 is 6,620 million baht to improve the control and supervision of prisoners to meet international standards according to human rights principles, be transparent and not Discriminatory locations are correctional institutions and correctional facilities with more than 280,000 inmates. 'So he questioned whether this government As a user of the budget for 2023 and and preparing the budget for 2024, has it been done transparently? Discriminating against more than 280,000 inmates or not? Because there are doubts arising in society. Why the government let some prisoners I have been to Thip Prison for more than 120 days, but I have never been to jail for even one day,' Mr. Jurin said. Then Mr. Krumanit Sangphum, MP for Surin, Pheu Thai Party, immediately rose up to protest, stating that he did not think that Mr. Jurin, who is a former minister, will discuss this matter because of the pas t in performing duties It's always failed. And it's also off-topic. It's the same old style. 'I don't agree. and knew that he was going to talk about a person named Thaksin Shinawatra who was bullied I lived abroad for 17 years and then came back. which in going outside the prison There is a clear license from the Director-General of the Department of Corrections,' Mr. Kru Manit said, along with asking the meeting chairman to order Mr. Jurin to retract his words. Mr. Wan Muhammad Nor Matha, chairman of the meeting, ruled that Mr. Jurin was still discussing the issue. which in Kru Manit It is also confirmed that Mr. Jurin discussed people outside the parliament. Later, Mr. Chaichana Dechdecho, Nakhon Si Thammarat MP Democrat Party rose up to protest against Mr. Teacher Manit saying Protest against Mr. Jurin I didn't think that the Honorable Council would have such words from such an honorable member. I personally respect Teacher Manit. Therefore, I want you to retract your words. Until finally the president ordered Teacher Manit to retract his words. Make the meeting atmosphere continue Then Mr. Jurin He further discussed that He does not wish to name any person. May the president be at ease. Because I always respect the rules. His question is Why do the Prime Minister and Minister of Justice As co-responsible for managing the 38 billion baht project, doubts will not be clarified. Especially the Prime Minister Become able to see that he can give orders in every matter. Until today it has become Longzhu Country. But when I'm worried about it, why don't I order it? or set up a committee to investigate To clear up doubts for people all over the country. which uses the budget of the Department of Corrections that regulates Concerning the detention process In detention facility 2023, claims to follow instructions of the National Human Rights Commission And is the use of the budget in a way that you don't like? 'Issuing such regulations It is an orderly Srithanonchai style. Because instead of strictly separating pri soners from prisoners It turned out to be strictly separating prisoners into two standards. By standard number 1, be imprisoned at the prison. And standard number 2 can be jailed at home. Use only the power of the committee not jurisdiction Until there were criticisms that Discrimination and court decisions are meaningless. The Sathit Justice Court handed down a prison sentence, but the Department of Corrections ordered some prisoners to be sent to prison at home. Become a prisoner of an angel,' Mr. Jurin said. At the end, Mr. Jurin said that he asked the Prime Minister, as the head of the executive branch, to instruct himself and the other 33 ministers to use the national budget effectively. for the highest benefit of the country with transparency and honesty Because they do not want to open discussions and distrust unnecessarily.- Source: Thai News Agency
