Play
Some 70 Democrats have lined up to grill the government on botched flood control, chief opposition whip Jurin Laksanavisit said on Monday.
The grilling will take place in connection with the budget debate from Wednesday to Thursday followed by a general debate on Friday.
Jurin said the Democrats will focus on the flooding situation as reflected by the 2012 Budget Bill.
“The Bt120 billion recovery spendings might not be sufficient for rectify the flood damages,” he said.
He said the government opted to squander funds for populist schemes at the expense of rebuilding efforts in the wake of flooding.
