Acting Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan said it was “normal” for the Cabinet to allocate emergency funding from the central budget worth 1.32 billion Baht for the Ministry of Defence to pay for wages of military personnel, even though such payments are budgeted in the regular fiscal year 2022 budget.

 

“Why you asked?” Prawit replied to reporters when asked about the allocation.

 

“This is normal,” he said without providing further explanation.

 

The Cabinet on Tuesday approved a secret agenda to allocate an extra budget worth 1.32 billion Baht from the central budget for the Ministry of Defence to pay wages of military personnel within the army (760.45 million) and the air force (561.25 million).

Should be a tip-off if one considers the world of militarism, and it's seedy mix of intervention, most important and influential throughout the political and societal realms.

Govt and military unable to justify why allocated budget for payroll went in shortfall for September
