On September 10, 2026, during the House of Representatives meeting to deliberate the second and third readings of the fiscal year 2027 budget bill worth 3.78 trillion baht, presided over by First Deputy House Speaker Mallika Jiraphanvanich, discussions centered on Section 32 regarding budget allocations for independent organizations and the Office of the Attorney General totaling 7.85 billion baht.
At approximately 2:25 PM, Dr. Vayong Asavarungruang, a party-list MP from the People's Party, took the floor to debate. He referenced Bhumjaithai Party-list MP Supachai Jaismut, who had recently withdrawn remarks about being overly aggressive, stating that he requested permission to show slight enthusiasm without being overbearing while presenting slides with text.
A key highlight of the address was Dr. Vayong clarifying the mysterious acronym, explicitly stating it did not mean eating noodles with six people. He also expressed his stance on the budget allocation, requesting that not a single baht be cut from the independent agency budget because their past performance remains clearly evident.
"ขอขออนุญาตฮึกเหิมนิดนึง แต่ไม่เหิมเกริม"
Furthermore, Dr. Vayong made critical remarks regarding the actions of Election Commission Secretary-General Sawaeng Boonmee, describing his approach as displaying genius and shrewdness with numerous statements that ultimately contradicted one another during official duties.
Budget deliberations in the second and third readings provide lawmakers a critical mechanism to scrutinize, amend, or maintain state expenditures. Deciding not to cut funds for independent bodies despite policy critiques highlights a targeted legislative approach focusing on accountability rather than defunding constitutional duties.
