Watana says 2007 destroys check and balance of three branches

Pheu Thai party-list MP Watana Muangsuk Friday said the current Constitution had tilted the power to the judiciary and destroyed the check and balance among the three branches of power.

 

Speaking during charter amendment bill debate, Watana said the executive and Parliament could check each other but no one could check the power of the judiciary.
He said a new charter should be drafted to reform the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holder of Political Office.
