Play
The constitution amendment draft is expected to be ready for Parliament's final consideration by April 26, chairman of the committee on charter amendment said Wednesday.
Pheu Thai MP Samart Kaewmeechai, chairman of the joint House-Senate committee deliberating the charter change draft, said the committee's consideration of the draft should be completed by Thursday. The committee would then bring the draft to the joint House-Senate meeting on the second reading on April 1011.
As the parliamentary session is due to be extended, the Parliament should be able to consider the draft before the end of this month.
Parliamentary meetings are scheduled for next Wednesday and Thursday, and the current House session was originally scheduled to end on April 18.
