Row over NLA's authority can be resolved by court: Wissanu
Play
Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said Thursday that the dispute over whether the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) has the authority to impeach politicians could only be resolved by a Constitutional Court ruling.
Wissanu, who had a hand in writing the 2014 Provisional Constitution, said he realised that this issue could give rise to conflict. He went on to say that he intentionally did not specify NLA’s authority in relation to impeachment cases in the interim charter because it would have required too many Articles, which would have led to more disputes.
“So, I left the problem to other agencies. If any argument occurs, the Constitutional Court will be the one making a final decision,” he said.
