After three days of debate and last-minute behind-the-scenes lobbying, to convince dissenting MPs from smaller parties to support the government, the 3.18 trillion baht budget bill for the 2023 fiscal year comfortably passed its first reading in the Lower House early Friday morning, with 278 votes for, 192 against and two abstentions.

 

The House of Representatives then set up a 72-member budget scrutiny committee, to vet the bill within 30 days, with the first meeting scheduled on Monday.

In his closing speech, the opposition chief whip and deputy leader of the Pheu Thai party, Suthin Klangsaeng, said he was disappointed with the budget bill because the bulk of the money is allocated to permanent expenditure, leaving very little for investment to generate revenue for the state.

Surprise surprise.... and the extra money for the army probably used for new watercanons and chemicals, appointment of new generals, because weapons are not needed as there is no thread from other countries at all
