PRIME MINISTER Srettha Thavisin said this morning (Feb. 3) at Don Mueang Airport before flying to Sri Lanka for an official visit that although the Thai people cannot wait any longer for the 10,000 baht digital wallet project to start, his government is still waiting for a recommendation from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), Matichon newspaper said.
He added that he has waited for a long time for NACC’s recommendation but it has still not come and now thinks there must be another way to kickstart this project.
Upon his return he will be holding talks with Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat on this issue.
When questioned by reporters that as NACC is awaiting clear action by the government while the government is waiting for the graft agency’s recommendation would this delay the project further, Srettha replied that he was not quite sure what the NACC wants the government to do and to go ask their officials first and not talk without having clear information.
