On Monday and Tuesday, when state policies are being discussed in parliament, the criticism may grill the government about them. The flagship 10, 000-baht digital wallet scheme is expected to receive a lot of criticism.

The MFP MP added that it is perplexing how the state is attempting to build blockchain technology to manage the digital budget plan in the hope it will lead the economy, highlighting the country’s lack of technological understanding.
