Although Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has vowed to revolutionize the city’s budgeting process, significant change is on hold as the budget plan for next year has already been prepared under his predecessor.

 

The 79-billion-baht draft budget plan for Bangkok was drawn up before Chadchart took the helm of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) late last month following a landslide election victory. The 79 billion baht in the budget plan is due to be spent in fiscal year 2023, which begins on October 1 this year.

The plan was drawn up prior to his win, but he can demand transparency on how it's spent.
