According to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, the Election Commission( EC ) is anticipated to spend a week deliberating an 11 billion baht subsidy on household electricity bills proposed by the government.
According to a supplier, the proposal was approved by the government on April 25 but rejected by polling officials on that day.
The source claimed that after reviewing the president’s proposal, the EC was unable to review it because the Secretariat of the Cabinet had forgotten to remind them of a cupboard resolution that had approved the distribution of approximately 11 billion baht in subsidies in accordance with Section 169.
According to the chapter, any emergency budget allocation approved by an cheerful cabinet following a House disintegration may first receive the polling organization’s approval.
The public has received the documents as a result. According to the source, the Secretariat of the Cabinet has not yet provided the EC with a comprehensive set of files.
Mr. Wissanu stated on Monday that the government initially thought it should first get the EC’s approval before moving forward with the suggested subsidy.
The cabinet resubmitted the cupboard resolution and a justification for its proposal, according to Mr. Wissanu, adding that the EC is anticipated to pay about one week debating the proposal after the latter insisted that it must also take its resolution.
The power payment may be extended from this fortnight through August under the plan for an additional four months.
Just households that consume less than 300 elements per month may be affected.
Those who use 151 to 300 units per month may receive a decrease of 67.04 satang per item, while those who only use 1 to 150 models may be given the same reduction.
To finance the method, about 7.6 billion baht may be taken out of the 2023 finances for emergency purposes. 18.36 million residents are thought to advantage.
A proposed 150 ringgit before VAT reduction to households using no more than 500 models per month, true for May’s billing just, is another step to assist people with expensive energy bills.
