PM Sees Vira's Budget Committee Appointment as Positive
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul endorsed Vira Theerapatthanon's appointment to review Thailand's 2570 fiscal budget, praising his experience and critical perspective while noting parliament handles such decisions independently.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul praised the appointment of Vira Theerapatthanon to the special committee reviewing the 2570 fiscal budget bill. Speaking at Government House on July 2, 2569, Anutin said he does not need to approve such parliamentary matters, as these are decided by parliament through its own processes. Regarding whether Vira's involvement will improve government budget explanations, the PM noted that Vira is an experienced person who came through parliamentary procedures, and the executive branch views it positively to have knowledgeable, courageous, and critical-minded individuals who can help protect national interests. However, Anutin acknowledged he was unable to closely follow the committee's proceedings due to official duties in France, where time zone differences made it difficult to keep up.
