'Corn' Confirms Issue of 10,000 Digital Cash Won't Happen, Expects Party to Abandon 'Bew Mother'

Former Finance Minister Mr. Korn Chatikawanich posted a message on Facebook. Commenting on the 10,000 baht top-up scheme through the digital wallet, the government has a target of borrowing 500 billion to use in the scheme. 'Give 10,000 baht digital money' will no longer happen. The government (actually the Pheu Thai Party) still maintains a sanctimonious attitude as if to move forward.

The former finance minister noted that he did not agree with the policy as the Pew Thai Party announced the policy before the election. No different from many opponents, for various reasons. Both politically (this kind of propaganda can make politics worse), economic aspects (using economically worthless money (debt)) and legal aspects (the Constitution and Financial Discipline Act clearly cannot do that.)

He said that he has personally stayed away from politics. Korn said. I don't want to show off too much. But some things are considered to have sufficient knowledge and experience. And it has a huge impact on the country. And as a citizen have a vested interest, so I want to express myself, whether it is right or wrong is up to the decision maker.

“After reading the comments of the NACC, I can conclude that the most important issue is that the current economic situation is not bad. While it is not a crisis, it does not meet the criteria under Section 53 of the Financial Regulation Act to legislate for borrowing. “Out of budget” therefore. , when the NACC ends as follows, it is very dangerous for the government to move forward. However, the Pheu Thai party may dare to move forward… but I don't think the coalition party will take it up either,” said Mr. Korn said.

He also noted “Politically, this policy belongs to the Pheu Thai. Do it better if you can and not any other party. The only party that will benefit is the Pheu Thai. It is different from policies that many oppose, such as the land bridge, because this policy has been said since the time of the Mama Thu government. Room Thai Song Chat Party Palang Prasara Party So concerned South Indian Party Bhumjoy Thai also don't want to oppose this. Opposition Democrats have no clear stand on this issue. But give this digital money. If it falls now, I'm sure almost all coalition parties will heave a sigh of relief. One takes a risk. No need. Two problems fall in a Pew Thai party. But if it falls after it is passed in the Cabinet or in the House of Representatives, the coalition party will also have a problem because we have to share the responsibility.”

In the case of the 2 trillion baht debt bill, the former finance minister added. Although the Constitutional Court ruled that it was unconstitutional, the government was not held accountable because Parliament had already been dissolved at the time. The government was at a critical juncture when the Democrats filed their complaint. We submitted that law for reasons not too different from the NACC's recent decision with the Constitutional Court, namely why issue the law in cases where there is no urgent need? The money should only be spent by the Budget Act (during the campaign, the Pheu Thai Party confirmed it would do so.) More importantly, MPs, ministers and party leaders of the coalition government were among the signatories to that day's petition to the Constitutional Court.

“So I hope this matter will not continue. Because those people know very well that it is impossible to issue such a debt law. Today there is a Financial Discipline Act that emphasizes additional issues. There are also NACC opinions that disagree. I think Pheu Thai will find a way. Really, I say. Everyone. We value opinions and concerns. We will act quickly to solve the economic problem in other ways. We will put more emphasis on solving people's debt problems. Investment recovery. Raising the education standards of Thai youth. Promoting open and fair competition in every business sector. “There will be problems. This will cause problems in the country. The sooner it ends, the less negative consequences there will be for all parties,” said the former finance minister.
