The government brings foreign students back home to develop the country.

Democrat Party, "Jurin" points out that the "digital wallet" government still has to continue to play the role of "monkey untangling a net" because the problems still lie in the same 3 points: source of funds, method of making it, and not knowing for sure when it will be received! Jurin Laksanawisit, MP for the party list and former leader of the Democrat Party, gave his opinion on the additional budget bill for the fiscal year 2024 in the amount of 122 billion baht to be used as part of the source of money to be distributed under the digital wallet project, which will enter the parliament for the 2nd and 3rd readings on Wednesday, July 31st. He said that up until today, at least 3 problems remain in the same place: Point 1: Source of funds: In addition to coming from the normal 2014 budget, the additional 2014 budget, and the normal 2015 budget, another sum that must be managed to find is from the 2015 budget, with a remaining 132 billion baht, which to this day the government has not dared to say where i t will come from and by what method. And to this day, it is still unclear whether the money from the BAAC will be used or not, because the Ministry of Finance has said that it has not closed the way. Point 2: If the BAAC's money is distributed, there will be another legal issue, whether it is against the law or not, including the legal issue of using the budget across years or overlapping years, which the opposition has previously noted. Point 3: The exact date of the distribution is because the longer the time is extended, the less clear it becomes. Although it was previously said that it would be clear on July 24, it was previously said that it would be distributed in the fourth quarter, but now it is said that it may go until December because the system is not ready yet. And it is uncertain whether anything else will change from now on. Reflecting that until today the problem is still the same. The government still has to play the role of "monkey solving a net" until there is no more role to play. There fore, it is believed that tomorrow there will be a debate and questions on these issues. Therefore, the government is requested to prepare to answer questions in advance because the people are waiting for the answer. What time will it be certain? Source: Thai News Agency
