webfact Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha explained today (Wednesday) to MPs, particularly those of the coalition Bhumjaithai Party, that he diverted Public Health Ministry funding, for the procurement and management of COVID-19 vaccines, to the Central Fund, which is under his direct supervision, for ease of use in emergency. Addressing lawmakers on the last day of the three-day debate on the 3.1-trillion-baht public sector spending bill for the 2022 fiscal year, the prime minister said that nobody, himself included, knows when the fight against the contagion will be over and how much money will be needed claiming, therefore, that it was more appropriate to move the vaccine funding from the Public Health Ministry to the Central Fund. He explained that the vaccine funding comes from two sources, borrowing and the Central Fund so, when there is an urgent need for more vaccines, money can be disbursed from either source.

Hopefully this will result in improvements in the procurement and administration of vaccines. <cough> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diverted into the Central fund for ease of easing it where it should not be spent or donated. Why move the funds at all. All it takes is an appropriations request and authorization to use it for specified items. Why now move it where he can do with it as he wants. Is the MOPH budget now going to be held up because of in-fighting with the PM. Things do not look above board in my view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better keep things separated You mean the pm, or someone else? The pm already has all the power, he's literally in charge of EVERYTHING. He heads every committee, is minister of defense, the police report directly to him, he has an emergency decree and the full backing of the insitution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbkk Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) I'm sure it can't possibly have anything to do with the reports that they had to be physically held apart by their aides at a recent meeting.
