Anutin Confident MPs Know Their Duties, No Need for Reminders to Join Budget Debates on the 70th Budget Bill in Sessions 2-3 Emphasizes Opposition’s Right to Question but This Is Not a No-Confidence Forum

Anutin is confident MPs understand their duties and do not need reminders to participate in the 70th budget bill debates during sessions 2-3. He noted the opposition has the right to question but emphasized this is not a no-confidence debate forum.


At 16:40 on 6 September 2026, at the Bhumjaithai Party headquarters, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, as party leader, chaired a meeting of Bhumjaithai Party MPs. The key agenda was preparing for the second and third readings of the 2570 budget bill scheduled for 7-9 September. He instructed that government MPs must attend meetings to ensure all readings pass smoothly, adding no reminder was needed as attending is already their duty.


Regarding reports that the opposition plans to use this occasion as a rehearsal for a no-confidence debate, Anutin said the budget relates to government agencies across all ministries. Every MP has the right to question and express opinions, and the committees have a duty to provide explanations.


When asked if MPs could question unrelated issues, such as the alleged collusion among senators, Anutin replied he could not predict what would be said but insisted that any answerable questions should be addressed. He reiterated that budget matters fall under the committees and MPs, not the Cabinet directly.
