House continues debates over 2010 Budget Bill

BANGKOK, 29 August 2009 (NNT) – The House of Representatives has moved on to tackle the rest items of the 2010 Budget Bill today, including the budget of the Ministry of Public Health.

During today’s House session, Puea Thai MPs debated that funding acquirement protocols in the bill were inefficient and argued that much of the Government’s planned spending would do little to stimulate the economy. They also raised concerns that the budget would not be equally distributed.

The Lower House this morning passed items 19, 20, 21 and 22 of the bill and have moved onto item 23.
