Bhumjaithai MP for Uthai Thani province, Chada Thaiseth

 

The Budget Bureau and the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) came under attack from a government MP, during the budget debate in the Thai parliament today (Monday), for slashing the funding of the Ministry of Public Health.

 

Bhumjaithai MP for Uthai Thani province, Chada Thaiseth, said that he felt the cut in the health budget, while the country is facing the spreading COVID-19 pandemic, amounts to a slap in the face to the people, despite the fact that the Public Health Ministry has been at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic since the first case early last year.

 

He challenged officials of the Budget Bureau and the NESDC to visit state hospitals, to see with their own eyes how hard medical personnel are working to treat the people infected with COVID-19, while dealing with the shortage of medical equipment.

He should not be surprised by them cutting the health budget, as this bunch of numpties dont give a rats a##e about the people.

Only thing they care about is getting kickbacks from buying useless Chinese junk for the military.

No money to be made in vaccines.... kick-backs in military hardware is where the booty is to be made.

Sounds ridiculous, cutting the public health budget during the covid crisis; the full article gives a political motive, which might explain it, but doesn't make it any less ridiculous.
