Bangkok,, "Worawat" summarizes the discussion on Budget 67, pointing out that the government must adjust 3 plans: work-money-people to drive the budget. Mr. Worawat Euapinyakul, Phrae MP, Pheu Thai Party, posted a message via Facebook. Indicates the discussion in the past fiscal year 2024 budget that the questioning of Senators and MPs found that some of them were suggestions that were worth listening to and putting into practice. Another part is the question of reasons why the government has not yet complied. Set policies and guidelines When looking at all the information, it is found that the government's problems lie in three parts: the work plan, the money plan, and the people plan. If anything is to be done, it must involve a major reform of the government's civil service system. A plan is a budget spending plan. The government's request comes from the provincial level agency's request plan, which must come from the provincial development plan. That is only information about the project and the needs of the area. which is still unable to adjust to be in line with the government's policy drive With a broad-spectrum view of problems and new ideas, the Cabinet (Cabinet) therefore does not have a budget to use according to the direction. and policy guidelines in a new form that are truly stated to the House of Representatives Therefore, in addition to the basic plans and strategic plans That can make the bureaucracy move forward. The NESDB and the Budget Office must also further formulate strategic plans based on policies in order to create flexibility in public administration. If the framework cannot be adjusted in time, it may be necessary to expand the central budget framework in the policy category because there are still no guidelines for implementing the policy in government agencies that match the policy. Truly of the government. In addition, the limitations of Section 144 of the Constitution do not allow the House of Representatives to present the needs of the people for the government to take action at all. In fact, in the social media era The people and the opposition can already check whether the budget adjustments of the Commissioners are correct or not. It is necessary to limit the authority to correct weaknesses and weaknesses in the budget to the point where the needs of the people cannot be presented through the legislative system at all. Problems with money plans It is a budget system that is rigidly defined, causing every agency to follow the original framework set by the Budget Bureau. without being able to present You can request to use the budget according to your actual needs. This has caused many agencies in the past to propose laws that do not require money collected from revenue to be sent to the Ministry of Finance in order to form a budget according to the framework set by the Budget Bureau, thus creating a type of money. What is new is that extra-budget money has occurred in an amount that is higher than the budget budget of 3.48 trillion baht to 5.9 trillion baht in fiscal year 2024. This part of the budget plan is therefore an important part that the government must urgently reform. extremely The People Plan found that there were many new agencies emerging. There is redundancy. and some units were unable to actually perform their duties, including the operational guidelines of public administration Proceed according to the original pattern, there is solidification. and being clumsy makes the Cabinet unable to actually give orders Therefore, conflicts in government administration have been found in almost every ministry and department. Which if you look at it simply from the order to suppress the drug problem In resolving PM 2.5, which is a big problem, it will be found that the government still has to wait to appoint and transfer personnel during a public crisis to follow the guidelines and framework for personnel management according to the traditional government model. This causes a delay in solving problems and not being able to solve the crisis problems of the people. It shows that if the government wants to take action Solve the country's critical problems that have accumulated for a long time. The government must speed up the reform of the civil service system, both the money plan and the people plan, to happen urgently. Otherwise, the same problems will come back like this every year without end. We would like to thank you for your good suggestions and comments. from all parties that Present with sincerity and believe that the government should understand and implement and make corrections in order to achieve the results of the policy and bring good results to the development of the economy and the lives of the people.
