Chief coalition whip allays fear of unity bills deliberation

The chief coalition whip Monday allayed opponents' fear of deliberation of four national reconciliation bills, saying the bills would be indefinitely put on hold.

 

Pheu Thai MP Udomdej Ratanasathien said if the House finished deliberations of ten bills put on top of the House agenda, the coalition would not proceed to deliberate the reconciliation bills.
He said there were several other bills pending deliberation so they would be moved up on the agenda after the ten bills are passed.
He said there were bills seeking to amend the anti-money laundering law and anti-terrorism law that the Justice Ministry wants to be passed urgently.
He said the deliberations of the pending bills would take months so it was impossible for the coalition to proceed with the deliberations of the reconciliation bills.
