Pheu Thai legal adviser proposes reducing Constitution Court's power

Pheu Thai legal adviser Chusak Sirinil Thursday floated an idea to gag the judiciary before moving on to overhaul the charter.

 

Under the idea, the ruling party should first amend Article 68 of the Constitution, seen as the mandate of the Constitution Court in meddle in the charter rewriting. Once this charter provision amended, the coalition will then proceed to frame a new charter.
“Pheu Thai will strive for the rewriting of the entire charter,” Chusak said.
