Ex-Commissioner Warns of Legal Risks in Cash Handout Scheme
Picture courtesy: TNA-MCOT A former election commissioner raised concerns over the Thai government's 10,000-baht (£230) cash handout scheme, labelling it as potentially illegal. With 4 million elderly Thais set to receive funds during Chinese New Year, only days before provincial administrative organisation elections, the timing has raised eyebrows. Somchai Srisutthiyakorn, a noted figure in Thai politics, highlighted on social media that the government's justification for the scheme - identifying all those aged 60 and above as vulnerable - is problematic. He argued this broad classification is a strategic manoeuvre to distribute budget funds without attracting allegations of electioneering. This handout is set for 29 January, just ahead of 1 February elections, prompting Mr Somchai to predict that formal challenges will ensue, citing a violation of the State Fiscal and Financial Disciplines Act BE 2561 (2018). According to the Act, government actions should not focus primarily on gaining political popularity at the expense of economic stability. Criticism also came from Niphon Bunyamanee, ex-PAO chief and Democrat Party member, who dismissed claims that the cash injections would stimulate the economy. He described the scheme as governmental promotion, advantaging Pheu Thai-affiliated candidates in the run-up to elections. Bunyamanee urged the government to shift towards long-term economic strategies, such as enhancing investment in digital technology and AI skills, fostering employment, and increasing productivity. Further legal opposition was hinted at by former senator Somchai Sawangkarn, who foresaw contravention of the country's fiscal laws. The contentious handout scheme, inherently tied to political gain allegations, highlights ongoing debates over fiscal responsibility and ethical governance in the lead-up to local Thai elections, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-22 -

Is this the "Little Surprise" of 47 and the Speaker?
looks like more than 5 Republicans were against Gaetz but instead of allowing the appointment approval process to be done in recess, IMHO the Republicans on the investigation committee agreed not to release the Gaetz report is he would drop out of the running for AG. But that doesn't mean he couldn't still be in the AG arena later in some lesser function. -
