On September 8, 2023, Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Revealed while visiting the area in Khon Kaen Province that he was concerned about the water situation. Because this year there is little water and only 1 month until the rainy season ends. The amount of water will be less. As water usage is divided into 4 parts, consumption and maintaining the system, this year is therefore worrisome. Need to expedite management of the system Using the local budget including systematic dredging of canals At the same time, the military will be used to develop and integrate tools to help the people in the event of a drought.

“Today it is important to quickly store water. To have enough to use if the rainy season ends. In order to be connected in the long-term plan, namely the Mekong, Chi, Mun, Loei, where the pipeline is connected to the Ubonrat Dam. This is considered a long-term solution. The government doesn’t want to solve short-term problems. This project will therefore be a good long-term solution.”

For this one month period, we must rush to collect as much rainwater as possible into the dam. along with not farming If there is no flood or drought situation All investments Both the construction of dams and weirs will generate income for all citizens. As for increasing net income for the people, consistent with government policy which I talked with the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce as well as trade representatives Must open new markets Including requesting quotas from China and the Middle East. In delivering products, reduce expenses, including the price of organic fertilizers that will replace chemical fertilizers. Increase knowledge for farmers to increase productivity. It will increase income and reduce expenses for the people. Along with suspending farmers’ debts, because in the past 9 years, debt payments have been suspended 13 times but to no avail. Therefore it is a big problem. This is the first time that the government will attempt to increase the net income of the people.

“The duty of the government must therefore be to provide the people with good income. can eat Can invest in cultivation Use the money to solve the debt problem after the first Cabinet meeting next week. This matter will be the first agenda to be considered.”

At the same time, Mr. Settha also emphasized that Rice pledging policy and income guarantee It is not in the policy of this government. Unless a disaster occurs, then let’s talk about it at that time. Because it distorts world market prices, causing a lack of fiscal discipline. Emphasis will be placed on increasing net income for people with low incomes but high productivity, low expenses, and the net money going into people’s pockets will be higher. There is no need to insure or pawn. causing income to distort the world market

As for the appointment of a spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office Or the new government spokesperson, whose name is Dr. Chai Watcharong, has not yet asked to speak because he still does not know where he can speak or not. But you may have already seen the names as the media has known. As for the working group, it is according to regulations. Because we respect everyone. Meanwhile, the two vacant government positions of Mr. Phichit Chuenban and Mr. Phai Lik have not yet appointed anyone to add them.

At the end, Mr. Settha also said that The Prime Minister of the Pheu Thai Party has never been called, including Captain Thammanat Phromphao, Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives. There is a direct line to myself. Many people know each other well. There is unity in working, there is no division because work is the main focus. When the reporter asked how he felt about people teasing him about being the Prime Minister. The best in the world, Mr. Settha smiled and replied: “Probably not true because there is a lot to prove. because of things that cannot be heard It is the most noble thing.”
