Opposition may support budget bill if Government acts on their recommendations

 

 

The opposition is ready to let the 3.2 trillion baht budget bill for 2020 pass its first reading in the House of Representatives if the Government agrees to the Opposition’s changes to what they see as flaws in the fiscal budget.

 

Opposition chief whip, Mr. Suthin Klangsaeng, said today (Wednesday) that the Opposition will make the public interest the top priority, point out the flaws in the budget and suggest improvements.

 

“If (the Government) agrees to accept and correct its flaws, we may let the budget bill pass.  This is our intention.  If the Government does not, we have no choice but to use our capability to vote against,” said Mr Suthin.

That is how it should work, doubt the government will accept any changes. Still good work of the opposition to be constructive. I hope it works. 

If the current government admit any substantial flaws then I'll wear my pants on my head for a week
