Thawee points out that no law was passed to benefit any prisoner, emphasizing that "Thaksin" is in the hospital "really sick." Police Colonel Thawee Sodsong, Minister of Justice Clarifying the budget for the Department of Corrections There was a discussion by Mr. Jurin Laksanawisit, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce. As for the 6-year budget of the Department of Corrections, 38,000 million baht, which is taken from Budget Book No. 9 of the Ministry of Justice. According to the strategic plan for developing the law and justice process which has a project for prisoners who need to be cared for each year, 6,600 million baht per year, saying that they do not agree with the said budget Implying that they will help and discriminate against some prisoners. I think we need to understand each other. that being a government must abide by the constitution and laws including the rule of law which the constitution has written The government must strictly comply with and enforce the law. The 2017 Cor rections Act occurred before the current government existed. And the main reason that is always said is that we will uphold the rule of law. That is, constitutional law must be the highest law. Other laws cannot conflict with or contradict the Constitution. Likewise, people as a state must strictly follow and enforce the law. The 2017 Corrections Law is an amendment to the 1936 Corrections Law because the previous law was not consistent with international criminal law. Not consistent with international principles, not meeting the minimum standards of international principles. Importantly, the old law was unable to manage or manage prisoners, individual prisoners or specific cases. appropriately This is because there is no provision to authorize the operation and the inability to use a control facility or other type of detention. By amending this law According to specific provisions, ministerial regulations and regulations must be completed within 90 days. If government officials do not comply with them, Or in accordance with the law, I consider that government official does not maintain the rule of law. According to the reason why this law was created is because we want the country to have the rule of law due to the current situation in prisons. There are approximately 280,000 inmates in prison. The current incarceration rate is less than 200,000. There are approximately 100,000 people in prison. Thailand has been labeled a failure of the rule of criminal law. If we do not obey the law, we will be the ones destroying the rule of law. If you cannot stay in prison, you will have to stay in a group. classified detention center which is an internationally accepted criterion Corrections are not a place to kill people or torture people. Anyone who is sick must go for treatment, not just former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra alone, but many people go for treatment and for your treatment, it must be learned that you have entered the justice process. They saw him as a peacemaker, even though before that he was seen as not agreeing with the seizure of power. But today, when you want to see the country have peace, tranquility, and harmony, you come back to the justice process. His illness occurred before this government came into existence. He came in about a month before this government came into the legal process and the correctional service gave the utmost importance to doctors. It was found that in the case of people going for treatment outside of hospitals related to prisons The law says it's a prison. Being in a square room and not being able to go anywhere is a loss of freedom, no matter how big the square room is. Many people wonder if he is really sick. I am the Minister of Justice and have never visited, but I have asked the doctor and the doctor confirmed that he is indeed sick and has symptoms. The stay is longer than 120 days. The law specifies that more than 120 days must be approved by the Director-General of the Department of Corrections, which must be accompanied by a treating physician and other evidence. T oday, it has been more than 120 days. The Director-General of the Department of Corrections is inspecting. A thorough examination is in the process of being presented to him. As for former Prime Minister Thaksin, people may view it differently, but if we adhere to the principles of the law, many doctors confirm that he is sick. Which is not only checked by members of parliament, but also checked by constitutional organizations such as the Ombudsman. I would like you to understand that the budget that Mr. Jurin has discussed is over 30,000 million baht for 6 years, approximately 6,000 million baht per year. Of those years, almost 5,000 million baht is spent on food. The rest is administrative expenses, and each year this money is If it's not enough, you must ask for a budget in the middle of the hair. I, as the Minister of Justice, as the Prime Minister has urged to strengthen the principles of justice, will not do anything other than the law being strong in the midst of justice. If anyone is an influential p erson, they will be treated honestly. Budget from the Ministry of Justice, Department of Corrections wants to develop it into a place to create people so that this group of people can come out into society and build the nation. and believes that justice may not cost a lot of money, but if the country has justice, various problems will be fixed The case is under consideration and the court has not yet made a final decision. Prepare to announce ministerial regulations Waiting for a public hearing Fighters may use this. that as long as the court has not made a decision, that person cannot be treated as an offender I must come and perform this duty. I will preserve the supremacy of the Constitution and the sanctity of the Constitution. I will continue to abide by this principle. - 313 Source: Thai News Agency

Kanwee" ready to chop up budget 67, pointing out that it's like cutting and pasting the budget. previous government I don't see any changes. Mr. Kanwee Suebsaeng, MP from the Pentham Party Mentioned the discussion of the draft budget bill for the fiscal year 2024, saying that he was not worried about having to discuss the budget for the first time. But what's troubling me is the body. Budget Act proposed by the government Because they saw that there were problems in 3 parts, namely that the draft was not different from last year, like it was cut and pasted. Which is very worrying. Because the people have expectations of the government led by Mr. Settha Thavisin that must change. It doesn't work the same way, but as far as I can see, there are the same old plans that keep coming. People have been waiting for changes for 9 years, but they still see the same budget, such as the budget for babysitting and continuing to keep babysitting. How will the people see this change? 'Right now the current policy is not correct. The budget didn't match the cover again. and various ministries do not respond to their main missions As for myself, there will be a discussion tomorrow. It will discuss security issues that are not mainstream security. Just a matter of the border But it is human security. He himself will prepare for the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister's Office related to the problems of the southern border provinces, which is in the national strategy,' Mr. Kanwee said. Mr. Kanwee said that today's discussion will be an overall discussion. About the economy and the environment of the people Tomorrow will be about security and inequality. The last part will be about human resources. The opposition side's preparations have been well coordinated. By dividing duties and time The Forward Party gets 380 minutes, the Democrat Party 200 minutes, Thai Sang Thai 60 minutes, the Thin Tham Party 20 minutes, and three smaller parties get 10 minutes each. The d ebate will be divided according to each person's aptitude. 'I want to see work that is the most effective. Because it uses tax money from the people, which is considered to be the last 3 months that the government has come to work. Must be able to create change. But at this time we still do not see it, which is a reflection of the Budget Act this time,' Mr. Kanwee said.- Source: Thai News Agency

Opposition leader points out that Budget 67 does not correspond to the campaign, does not have a plan, is intangible. It is a special government. to share power Placing people incorrectly Reflects on budget planning Mr. Chaithawat Tulathon, Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives Discussing the draft Budget Act for fiscal year 2024 that after listening to Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, read the principles and reasons of the draft Budget Act. It reminds me of the atmosphere of last year. which the previous Prime Minister I came to read it like this. Full of beautiful messages But when looking at the details of the draft budget, the problem still exists. is a broad plan Intangible, vignettes, drifting, no strategy. No prioritization The opposition leader said that on September 11, 2023, the Prime Minister announced his policy to Parliament. that Thailand is facing important challenges both economically, socially and politically within the country There was a con stitutional crisis. economic crisis People's stomach problems and conflict crisis in society, so in order to solve the problem Create readiness and lay the foundation for the future for all Thai people The government has a policy framework for managing and developing the country according to the framework of urgency, both short-term, medium-term and long-term, which the opposition has criticized and discussed. The government's policies are not the same as they were campaigned for. There is no clarity. There is no tangible concrete plan. The Prime Minister said that he would wait and see the plans for each ministry. They are definitely clear. 'When looking at the plans by ministry The problem was found that there were no clear indicators. The success of the policy cannot actually be measured. Not related to policy goals When looking at the contents of the plan, it was found that it was the same project that the Ministry was already working on. Old liquor in new bottles Stuffed with regular projects of the Min istry into the policy guidelines that the government will make There is quite a mix up between what the government will do and what is already a regular job that agencies do. When the Cabinet first passed a resolution ordering a review of the Act. The new 67 budget took 3 months to improve. To respond to driving policy But in the end, the appearance of this draft budget bill is no different from before. The Prime Minister said there is an urgent policy. This should be reflected in this draft law. but must be disappointed Because setting a budget to implement policies does not answer the questions As well as urgent policies to generate income from tourism,' Mr. Chaithawat said. The opposition leader said that as for reducing the burden of energy costs on the people - the budget is to compensate for debt to EGAT from the policy of reducing electricity prices. It was not planned/for Thai people to have a more democratic constitution. It is likely that there will have to be a referendum 1-2 times this year. The government has not set a budget, waiting for the Election Commission to ask for 2,000 million, but received only 1,000 million. The policy is to add 10,000 baht via digital wallet when announcing the policy. Said I wouldn't get a loan. But today it is clear that no budget has been set in the draft Budget Act 67. It must be seen that the government will propose Can the Loan Act be introduced to the House of Representatives? 'I would like to summarize the overall picture of the draft Budget Act 67 that has been proposed as a disgrace, incomplete, and without a strategy. Working without a clear agenda and goal The cover might look good. But when I went to look at the insides, it was not tied to the policy goals. Most of them are the same projects but linked to new goals. Plus, count every expense and claim it as a budget for new investment. What we like to do the most is the budget for road construction. It becomes a wonderful project that can answer every confusing strategy,' Mr. Chaithawat said. The oppositi on leader said there were 200 new projects out of a total of 2000, with most of the new projects coming from new agencies established before the new government. It is a project that government agencies have proposed. It is not really a push to drive new projects, and the revenue forecast is also overstated. About a hundred billion baht In order to increase the expenditure plan higher, at the same time, the budget for expenses that will definitely be needed is not sufficient, such as pensions, government salaries, welfare budgets, a policy to increase government salaries by 10%, compensation for EV taxes, electricity costs to compensate for EGAT debt from the policy of reducing Electricity cost, soft power budget that was advertised to be over 5000 million. 'These unbudgeted expenses, combined, should not be less than 100 billion baht. In the end, they will have to be shunted as expenses to recoup the treasury in the next year. Then everything is thrown to the central budget. With this condition Therefore, th ey do not see the government's goal agenda through the preparation of the Act. Budget. In order to achieve the policy goals, it is not always necessary to use a large budget. It can be a non-budget policy, but the allocation of the budget to move the country forward It shouldn't be this bad. For example, the government announced an urgent policy that would create legitimacy in the administration of government by restoring the rule of law. But today I'm not sure. The government is going to make the situation about the rule of law and the rule of law. Is it getting worse? Because society is being reinforced to accept a double-standard justice process. privileged style Laws and prisons are only for ordinary people who do not have power, prestige or money,' Mr. Chaithawat said. The opposition leader said that throughout these 3 days, members of the Progressive Party and all opposition parties We will discuss and explain in concrete terms why the draft bill This budget has problems. As mentioned, the overall pict ure has been summarized. But I would like to conclude by saying, Problems with the preparation of the Act This budget reflects that. This government is only a special government. There is no policy agenda to drive together. But combined special operations to share power Share to eat, share to use. 'So I saw the establishment. The Cabinet is completely wrong. Work is not divided according to the target agenda. but divided according to political quotas The minister was placed incorrectly for the job. So we see the Prime Minister who just give government orders floating around and wait for the bureaucracy to do it for them And likes to yell when things aren't done as expected. Instead of seeing the Prime Minister Proactive workplace Go in and stir up policy at the practical level. From what I once said, think big and do it. Today it has become a matter of thinking and doing. Think short, don't think long. Or think like you do. If the formation of this government really has a common agenda It would be an agenda to solve the power crisis of the elite. Because of the conditions of this government's entry into power has clearly expressed that It is a gathering together to maintain the original condition of Thai society. Gather together to resist changes in Thai society. to protect traditional social power and resist new social forces that want a better future,' Mr. Chaithawat said. The opposition leader said that before the 2006 coup, Thai society had the opportunity to see the efforts of the elected government. and is the hope of change Political leaders at that time saw that If Thailand can progress more than this It is necessary to reform the bureaucratic system. Including the policy-making process and budget system. that is outdated and ineffective There are attempts to change the budget system. Formerly mostly under the control of the bureaucracy in various ministries, there is a budget system that focuses on results according to the government's strategy. 'But after the coup, from then on The government bureauc racy and traditional elites have regained control of Thai society. We no longer see the will and effort of the elected government to seriously reform the Thai state. Because the political power that used to be a new power It used to be a force for change. Nowadays, it has returned to join the association as part of the old power. We cannot live in the same way. We as the opposition do not want to see the budget system remain the same. As the opposition, we are ready to support the administration. For the next three days, we will perform our duties as representatives with honesty and constructiveness. We ask government representatives to accept criticism. Listen to suggestions and our opinions Hopefully in the end the budget consideration will be of the greatest benefit to the people,' Mr. Chaithawat said.-312 Source: Thai News Agency

The total budget is 3.48 trillion baht, which is approximately 72.8% of the regular expenditures and only 20.6% of the investment budget is slightly above the guidelines.
