As ministers demanded public support for the government’s ability to implement its policies, the president’s policy statement came to an end on Saturday with a promise to boost the country’s weak economy and address persistent debt issues.
According to Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai,” the authorities is asking the public to possess confidence in its ability to apply these laws that have been declared in parliament.”
He addressed the coalition state in a final statement released at the conclusion of the two-day legislative session, which ended at 1:00 a.m. on Saturday. The meeting’s entire time was two hours more than the meeting’s original 29 hours.
According to Mr. Phumtham, the policies announced are intended to improve people’s quality of life and build on the job of the previous government over the past month, including tackling family debts, lowering living costs, preventing crimes, and enhancing the government’s ability to compete on the international level through several projects, including workers skill development and supporting the green and electric economies.
During the debate on Friday, the opposition People’s Party ( PP ) turned the policy declaration into a censure debate when Parit Wacharasindhu, a PP list-MP, told those present that this represented a forum to assess the government’s work in the past year.
Even though a new government was established, he claimed, it is still run by essentially the same social events and individuals.
He claimed that no progress had been made by the Srettha Thavisin management, and none of the five policies he promised to put immediately into action had been regarded as successful.
For instance, the digital handout program has n’t yet been implemented while no new measures have been put in place by the Srettha government to lower household debt, according to Mr. Parit.
He said measures aimed at bringing down electricity costs were only temporary, while the president’s bid to improve the country’s tourism industry had yet to offer as much monetary value as expected.
Mr Parit said he could n’t have any confidence in the new government to achieve any of its policies, albeit nicely worded, over the next three years.
