Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is ready to defend the government's 3.18-trillion-baht 2023 budget bill in the three-day House debate starting on Tuesday, said deputy government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek on Sunday.
The PM intends to use the opportunity to explain to the public why the sum is so large and what it will be spent on in the coming fiscal year, she said.
