Prayut to enact new NCPO announcement to replace martial law enforcement
Play
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said Friday that he is preparing to enact a new announcement of the National Council for Peace and Order to replace the martial law enforcement.
Prayut said the Cabinet did not discuss the lifting of martial law during its meeting at the Hua Hin Cabinet retreat Friday because the issue is under his authority as the NCPO chief.
He said the NCPO announcement would be similar to the provision of Article 44 of the interim charter.
The government will have to seek a royal command before the martial law will be lifted, he added.
He said he will wait and see the situation for awhile before issuing the NCPO announcement.
