Pheu Thai urges Democrats to pass Budget Bill

The Democrats should play a contructive role in order to push for a speedy passage of the 2012 Budget Bill in the face of the flood crisis, Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit said on Tuesday.

 

The budget debate is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday followed by a vote on the first reading of the bill.
“I call on the opposition MPs to deliberate on the Budget Bill in the constructive manner instead of playing politics,” Prompong said.
He said the opposition should not turn the budget debate into a blame game to discredit the government on flood control.
Various opinion polls indicated that the people wanted to see the government and the opposition working together to overcome the flooding, he said.
